Book excerpt: Excerpt from Onondaga; Or Reminiscences of Earlier and Later Times, Vol. 2 of 2: Being a Series of Historical Sketches Relative to Onondaga; With Notes on the Several Towns in the County, and Oswego As an object of Natural History, the Onondaga Salt Springs are among the most singular and valuable productions with which bountiful nature has enriched our country. As an object of Chemistry, they are equally interesting, as affording an accurate analysis of the waters, ascertaining the various heterogeneous substances which they hold in solution, and the just proportions of each. As an object of political interest, they deserve particular consideration, as affording a vast revenue to the State, giving employment to thousands of her citizens, and supplying our extensive country with salt of its own manufacturing. On all these points, they are of increasing interest and of the highest importance, not only to our country, but to the State at large.
