How did the small village of Sackets Harbor produce the first woman mayor of New York State, the (almost) first woman general in the U.S. Army, the only woman Ship Keeper in the U.S. Navy, and the founder of a fraternity? The same village where chloroform, the percussion cap were invented, where Buffalo soldiers were stationed, and high school buddies bought a horse that won the Kentucky Derby?
