Download or read book Steamboats on Keuka Lake written by Richard S. MacAlpine & Charles R. Mitchell and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The grand age of steamboats on Keuka Lake began in 1835 and was vital to the development of the region. The boats carried excursionists--Victorian tourists--to the resorts and cottages that lined the lakeshore. The communities of Penn Yan, Hammondsport and Branchport that anchor the three branches of the Y-shaped lake flourished. This prosperity helped grow the area's grape and wine production that is so celebrated today. Though the last steamboats were taken out of service in 1915, the romance and nostalgia of the period are preserved in tales of glamorous steamers, the people who worked and traveled on them, the resorts they served and the history they made. Local historians Richard MacAlpine and Charles Mitchell capture the stories, anecdotes and photos from this bygone period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Upstate New York is the birthplace of many of America’s favorite foods. The chicken wing was born in a bar in Buffalo, the potato chip originated in the kitchen of a glitzy Saratoga Springs hotel, the salt potato got its start along the marshy shores of a Syracuse lake, and Thousand Island dressing was created in a hotel along the St. Lawrence Seaway. In this book, D’Imperio travels across the region to discover the stories and people behind forty iconic foods of Upstate New York. He introduces readers to the black dirt farmers of Orange County who give America its best-tasting onions, to the Catskill’s Candy Cane King, and to "Charlie the Butcher," purveyor of the best beef on weck in the state. Filled with color photographs, the book includes a map of the various regions around Upstate New York, allowing readers to create their own cultural and historic food tour.

Book excerpt: In 1776 a young Rhode Islander named Jemima Wilkinson had a vision that led her to become the first American born woman to found a religion, the Society of Universal Friends. In 1788, Jemima, or the Friend as she was then known, and her followers were the first to settle America's new frontier. Her fascinating story has been told many times over the years. But until The Unquiet World no one has explained the forces that led to the Friend's unique movement and how it influenced the history of Yates County, western New York and the United States.No one has had access to Arnold James Potter's typescript The Life and Times of the Universal Friend, a biography of more than 900 pages, as a resource. This source was based on diaries, letters, memoranda, testimony from litigation, dream-books, original deeds, maps and a mass of other material inherited from his grandfather, James Brown Jr., the Friend's steward. This source is quoted frequently in the book. Yates County Historian and author Frances Dumas has indeed written a very special book that any history buff will enjoy.
