   Niagara Frontier History You Haven't Read Before
 

Read this never-before-told story of the early days in western New York, told from the viewpoint of Erie County pioneer Joseph Bennett.

 

You may have read elsewhere of John Love's murder, but here you'll learn what led up to it.  You may have tried to imagine life in canal days, but here you'll get a firsthand picture of it.  You may be vaguely aware of 19th-century shipwrecks on Lake Erie, but here you'll find detailed descriptions of several.

 

From 1814 naval action on Lake Champlain through the Civil War era on the Niagara Frontier, from the building of the Erie Canal to the coming of the railroads, from Lake Erie storms to runaway horses, from hardscrabble wilderness life to vacation-camp leisure, Joseph Bennett witnessed and wrote about it all.

 

And it's all in this book.  So treat yourself or a friend!  Buy a copy of Joseph Bennett of Evans and the Growing of New York's Niagara Frontier. 

 

200 pages, 25 photos and maps.
