Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES NOTABLE BOOK • “Breathtaking . . . a remarkable blend of murder mystery, love story, political intrigue, and tragedy of manners.”—USA Today The year is 1901. Buffalo, New York, is poised for glory. With its booming industry and newly electrified streets, Buffalo is a model for the century just beginning. Louisa Barrett has made this dazzling city her home. Headmistress of Buffalo’s most prestigious school, Louisa is at ease in a world of men, protected by the titans of her city. But nothing prepares her for a startling discovery: evidence of a murder tied to the city’s cathedral-like power plant at nearby Niagara Falls. This shocking crime—followed by another mysterious death—will ignite an explosive chain of events. For in this city of seething intrigue and dazzling progress, a battle rages among politicians, power brokers, and industrialists for control of Niagara. And one extraordinary woman in their midst must protect a dark secret that implicates them all. . . .

Close to Canada, Niagara Falls and Buffalo were perfect avenues through which to transport booze, and Magaddino and his Mafiosi maintained a stranglehold on the city until his death in 1974. Local mob expert Michael Rizzo takes a tour of Buffalo's mafia exploits everything from these brutal gangsters' favorite hangouts to secret underground tunnels to murder.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the City of Buffalo: Its Men and Institutions; Biographical Sketches of Leading Citizens A history of the Buffalo must, of necessity, be more or less a history of the entire Niagara Frontier. Upon each has the other depended for more than a hundred years. However earnest the historian may be in his desire to write that which concerns only the municipality of today, irresistible temptations will lead him away, beyond the city, along the smiling banks of the Niagara, where so much that concerns the past of Buffalo was enacted. It seems, indeed, that our progenitors saw everything except the spot that must, inevitably, be the site of a great city, and chose for the settings of their pioneer days locations that have since become obscure and completely overshadowed by the great community that builded near. In this book has been chronicled only the more important of those early-day happenings - only those that had some direct bearing on the settlement and growth of Buffalo. Many histories of Buffalo have been written, yet our history is in fragmentary state. The claim is not made that this work is a complete and comprehensive history of the city; for, though Buffalo is far from being an old city, the events that have aided or retarded its progress, the people who have been factors in its social, political, and business life, and the institutions that are, or have been, a part of its general structure, are too many to describe, even briefly, between two covers, and could not possibly be included within the limits of this present work. However, the author does claim some merit of arrangement. He has essayed to set up a series of legible guideposts, marking the most important periods of the city's life, and to describe, briefly, the most conspicuous people and events contemporary thereto. The volume sets forth a chronological succession of facts in which one may trace Buffalo's development and growth from a mere collection of Indian tepees down to the present day, when we glory in being one of the truly great cities of the globe. The compilation of the work has afforded no small degree of pleasurable surprise. Data that are truly astonishing have been gathered - facts that show Buffalo's supremacy in many lines and prove conclusively that the city is, in other respects, the equal of any in America or elsewhere, for business, industry, and social intercourse. Above all else an earnest effort has been made to make this work historically accurate. Unfortunately, in our early days there were many dates, names, and instances that are today - and ever will be - in dispute. In such cases the author has consulted records, and written matter that is accorded the merit of being closely and intelligently written, and has carefully weighed the evidence, choosing the course that seemed best and most worthy to follow. The biographical sketches which comprise a large part of the work have been carefully prepared by a corps of competent writers, and, so far as possible, they have been personally authenticated by the subjects. The series includes the city's most prominent men, and sets forth, concisely, the achievements of these agents of progress who have made Buffalo what it is and who are ben upon making a greater city with greater institutions. The value of the work must be apparent to all, and as time goes on its worth will increase until it becomes a veritable treasure-house for the historians and genealogists of future years.

Download or read book The Best Planned City in the World written by Francis R. Kowsky and published by Designing the American Park. This book was released on 2018 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 1868, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux created a series of parks and parkways for Buffalo, New York, that drew national and international attention. The improvements carefully augmented the city's original plan with urban design features inspired by Second Empire Paris, including the first system of "parkways" to grace an American city. Displaying the plan at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Olmsted declared Buffalo "the best planned city, as to streets, public places, and grounds, in the United States, if not in the world." Olmsted and Vaux dissolved their historic partnership in 1872, but Olmsted continued his association with the Queen City of the Lakes, designing additional parks and laying out important sites within the growing metropolis. When Niagara Falls was threatened by industrial development, he led a campaign to protect the site and in 1885 succeeded in persuading New York to create the Niagara Reservation, the present Niagara Falls State Park. Two years later, Olmsted and Vaux teamed up again, this time to create a plan for the area around the Falls, a project the two grand masters regarded as "the most difficult problem in landscape architecture to do justice to." In this book Francis R. Kowsky illuminates this remarkable constellation of projects. Utilizing original plans, drawings, photographs, and copious numbers of reports and letters, he brings new perspective to this vast undertaking, analyzing it as a cohesive expression of the visionary landscape and planning principles that Olmsted and Vaux pioneered.
