Best-selling author Peter Svenson’s energy and enthusiasm infuse his portrait of Fayetteville, NY, tracing its rise from a late-18th century crossroads in the wilderness to a fully industrialized 19th-century community. The life of Fayetteville encapsulates in a microcosm the story of much of New York State and the region, as Native Americans and settlers in log cabins gave way to the Erie Canal and, eventually, post-War tract houses.Svenson’s treatment of the village’s historical perspective is interspersed with a description of his own experience in moving there – factual history leavened by present-day description. An engaging read, this book gets to the soul of Americana, past and present.
