Ashokan Reservoir Transcripts, 1906-1942
Property loss and business damage claims caused by the construction of the Ashokan Reservoir are captured word-for-word in this, one of over 360 volumes of Ulster County Supreme Court transcripts. Personal accounts given during direct and cross examination afford great insight into the lives and livelihoods of those displaced by the reservoir construction, many born and raised in homes and property seized by New York City's Board of Water Supply.
A Finding Aid to the “Ashokan Reservoir Transcripts” is available online at and available at the Records Center.
