Blake McElvey's Rochester: A Panoramic History tells the vital story of this city's past, present and its future prospects, starring the people who are its greatest resource. Stunning photographs and illustrations punctuate a story that has all the elements of a rousing tale: suspense, tragedy, comic relief, natural catastrophes and, finally, energetic and resilient people. Here are the industrial giants, as large as life: Hiram Sibley of Western Union, George Eastman and his "passing fad of a toy", Lewis Swift, hardware merchant and astronomer and discoverer of comets - only a few of the greats, eccentrics and ordinary people who tell the story of a city that valued quality in its products, resourcefulness in its people, and a belief in its own destiny to be one of America's finest cities."
