Delaware County

Welcome to Cats Cast.

I'm Brett Barry, here at the Delaware County Historical Association in Delhi, New York, with association director and historian Tim Duerden.

Tim, welcome to the show.

Thank you, Brett.

And in the book, I detail the atrocious conditions that Levi and his compatriots experience in the Sugar House, and a bit of his life afterwards.

Yes.

It's just, it should be peaking or something, but peeping's just weird.

Um, but that, his pictures looked awesome.

He's over at Delaware County all the time.

He's exploring the places where, like, nobody goes, and it just, he is f- was fortunate.

Like solitude, he's got the fortress of solitude over there.

Let's see, Channel 34, that's up in Binghamton.

Let's see, weather alert, special weather statement, Broome, Chenango, Delaware.

So what's the weather report or weather? Let's see, let's check it for Tioga.

Oh, Patch is a dense fog.
