New York City became the most popular area to “boom out” for Mohawk Ironworkers in the 1920s, where they helped build the skyline and some of the most famous structures in history. Learn about “Little Caughnawaga,” the name given to Brooklyn, a second home to Mohawk ironworkers still to this day. Thomas Jock II and Gordie King make the weekly trip to NYC together to provide for their families back home.
