English:
Captain Alezur Holyoke’s Exploring Party on the Connecticut River
by
Ross E. Moffett
; inexplicably Alezur is often spelled "Alezue" despite the fact that the historic figure portrayed is
Elizur Holyoke
. This oil mural is visible at the west wall of the
Holyoke Post Office
above the Postmaster's door. It depicts a scene of Elizur Holyoke and his team surveying the land to the south of
Mount Tom
which can be seen in the background. To the left are two colonists looking over their day's catch of
American shad
which remain abundant in the
Connecticut River
at Hadley Falls to this day. To the right a man in a flat-bottom boat can be seen with a deer, of the day's hunt.
