Trade Paperback. Condition: Good. Reissue. 3rd printing. Large crease on front wrapper. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 1986 Trade Paperback. 182 pp. A collection of Merrill's writings about the history of Rochester. "Others have written about Rochester before and since Arch Merrill but it took a newspaper man to write the story of Rochester as a story. When Merrill writes of Nathaniel Rochester in the lucid, fast-moving, easily-digested style which has put Merrill's books on top of the reader list,you see the City's Founder; you feel his presence, you imagine him surveying today's scene from the four corners. When Arch Merrill writes of Sam Patch,the leaper of cataracts, the Fox Sisters, purveyors of Spiritualist rappings, you become projected in retrospect through the century of Rochester's pale birth to the era of six wars and the deep etch they left on the community. For those contemporaries who remember, Arch Merrill brings back the days of the old Driving Park, the Free Academy, the Lyceum Theater, Rattlesnake Pete, the Glen House, the Sidepaths and other landmarks that now are memories."
