All About Buffalo casts a vibrant spotlight on the city’s rich history, cultural diversity and even its economic challenges. Written by Maria Scrivani and illustrated by Michael Morgulis, this breezy, full-color guide demonstrates that kids can get a hands-on history lesson merely by exploring their town.
New neighborhood books available through Western New York Wares:
Buffalo's legacy is impressive. Burned by the British during the War of 1812, it rebuilt itself and became the Erie Canal's western terminus. At its peak, Buffalo was one of America's 10 most populous cities, and hosted the Pan-American Exposition in 1901. Michael F. Rizzo traces the history of some iconic Buffalo neighborhoods in photographs and enlightening text.
In a dramatic recasting of the assassination of President William McKinley, historian John Koerner presents the first ever case for a conspiracy to execute our nation's 25th chief executive. This groundbreaking book uncovers an extensive, meticulous plot that reaches far beyond assassin Leon Gzolgosz. In The Secret Plot to Kill McKinley, Koerner reveals how Czolgosz was trained and funded by a ring of conspirators who possessed a maniacal dedication to accomplish their goal of murder. Nothing was left to chance when the young anarchist shot McKinley at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo on September 6, 1901.
Explore the evolution of a magical place from its modest beginning as a picnic grove in 1890, to a major amusement park, through its 1989 demise. In Crystal Beach Park: A Century Of Screams, author William E. Kae has gathered together more than 300 vintage photographs, and original blueprints of the park's best-known attractions, including the Comet.
