Then the Adiroundacks had a wealth of fur bearing animals, plus vast hemlock forests to provide the chemical catilist to tan hides and also provide the building materials to construct the tanning and finishing mills. In spite of this present Micro leather industry, it's just another example of the migration of basic US industry to Asian Countries. Sad to say the least!
