Title: (printed below image) A Mohawk Uprising

Caption: Almost the entire town of Herkimer, in Central New York, has been submerged by a flood eight feet deep, caused by the break-up of the ice-gorge in the Mohawk River early in March. Syracuse, Ithaca, and many other upstate cities and towns were flooded from the same cause. Great financial loss and widespread suffering resulted from the flood throughout the valley.
