We have had a query regarding a balloon farm that was supposed to have existed in the Mohawk Valley. In her book, The Big Balloon Race, Eleanor Coerr makes mention of a balloon farm owned by inventor Prof. Carl Myers in the Mohawk Valley (no location noted). Myers' wife was Carlotta (1849-1932). They had a daughter, Ariel and were balloonists. Unfortunately, neither I nor anyone here in my office has ever heard of this. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Kelly A.
