Description: This book explains how Buffalo went from a little hamlet of a few scattered cabins to the eigth largest city in the U.S. by the dawn of the 20th century. It tells the story of that exciting growth, then examines the 20th century factors that caused the region to tumble from prosperity to hard times, and concludes with an examination of factors that utilize our geographic advantages to integrate the Western New York and Canadian economics and could ultimately restore great prosperity to our region in the 21st century.
