Upstate Echoes (Arch Merrill's New York Series, 9)

Besides many a tale of Western New York countryside, this book offers fascinating chapters about the North Country, the Niagara Frontier and the Southern Tier. The past comes to life again in stories of historic mansions, covered bridges, Indian council fires, and the oldtime glory of Charlotte, Rochester's lake port that once was "The Coney Island of the West." You will meet such interesting people as the last surviving sextuplet in America and "The Wonderful Man" who leaped with a parachute at the age of 81. 152 pages
