Excerpt from Chapter 1:
|
by Iris Drzewiecki
The editors of Western New York Heritage Pres are pleased
to announce the publication of The Ghost and Me, Joey. This intriguing
story written by Iris Drzewiecki opens the door on a wealth of local history.
 The
Warren Hull House stands like a silent grey sentinel guarding its own
history. For almost two hundred years, it has survived on its own without
any special outside protection. It almost seems as though it weathered
the years under the protection of some special providence, some kind spirit
watching over it.
Iris Drzewiecki's work has appeared in Instructor, School
Library Journal, Library Talk, Cobblestone, The Buffalo News and The Roycroft
Review.

The Story of Annie Edson Taylor
by Dr. Charles Carlin Parish
Dr. Charles Carlin Parish tells the story of 63-year old
Michigan schoolteacher Annie Edson Taylor, who came to Niagara Falls in
1901 for the express purpose of achieving fame and fortune by going over
Niagara Falls. Unlike all others who tried this, she survived.
The 148-page biography relies heavily on first-hand source
material, often using Taylor's own words to illustrate her motives.
Taylor's own self-published story, "Over the Falls,"
is included, as well as a number of period photos.

An Ecological Study of the Dr. Victor Reinstein
Woods State Nature Preserve
by Bruce Kershner
This is late author Bruce Kershner's years-long detailed study
of the 280-acre preserve donated to the New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation by Dr. Victor Reinstein and his wife, Julia Boyer Reinstein.
She said in 1993, "The Reinstein Woods is a natural
and scenic treasure. Bruce's book documents the unique and irreplacable
forest that Victor and I love so much and have made such effort to protect
since the 1930's. The study describes everything that grows in the Preserve,
and predicts how it will change in the future."
The oversize paperback is 165 pages of maps, photos, charts
and narration that also describes the natural history of a piece of land
that became an island of unspoiled beauty as the surrounding area developed
into suburbs.
This publication would be of great interest to historians
as well as naturalists. Bruce Kershner's text is enjoyably readable for
the lay person.
