Tunnel on the Syracuse and Chenango Valley Rail Road Cazenovia New York 1872

Photo By H. S. Mather, Cazenovia N. Y. 1870s
"A Visit to the Tunnel and a Glimpse of Cazenovia" Cazenovia Republican, May 16, 1872
Several officers of the Syracuse and Chenango Valley Rail Road had inspected the tunnel and invited about 25 rail road men and citizens of Syracuse to return again with them.
They boarded Herman H. Stanton's coach-and-four at the Temperance House, which is the present terminus of the Rail Road. The "deserted village" was soon reached, where but a
few weeks ago there were lively scenes. The numerous boarding houses have been torn down, the blacksmith shop demolished, and little remains except "the store" which once
must have resembled Dickens' "Curiosity Shop" to mark the spot. The company took lunch in the yard surrounding a farm house before inspecting the cavern. Supt. Stroud then
took the pilgrims to the northern end of the great work. Through a long cut with solid walls of stone, all passed to the entrance of the tunnel, when warning was given that
pieces of stone, weighing a ton or less occasionally flaked off from the top and fell, and that all who went through must take the chances. All entered upon the journey of
1600 feet through solid rock. In the middle the temperature was almost at the freezing point, and the only ray of light was in the distance. Afterwards a brief visit to
Cazenovia was made, and the location of the station and a new hotel upon the lake were commented upon.
The work of arching the tunnel to render it entirely secure, is to be commenced at once, and will be done by the time the rails are laid to Cazenovia.

Hiram Powers Greek Slave Statue circa 1800's
|
Photo By Charles Bierstadt (1819-1903), Niagara Falls N. Y.
One of the most popular American statues of the 19th century, Hiram Powers' The Greek Slave (1844),
portrays a Greek girl captured by the Turks and put up for sale in a Middle Eastern slave market. The sculptor said of his work:
"As there should be a moral in every work of art, I have given to the expression of the Greek slave what trust there could still
be in a Divine Providence for a future state of existence, with utter despair for the present, mingled somewhat of scorn for all
around her. It is not her person but her spirit that stands exposed."
