Meer over het boek

Focusing on the everyday lives of its residents, this book uncovers the rich, often overlooked history of Cazenovia, a village in Central New York's Finger Lakes region. It highlights the stories of remarkable individuals, including Lucia Zora Card, an elephant and lion tamer; Susan Blow, a pioneer of kindergarten education; and Cecil Donovan, a World War I soldier whose letters reveal the emotional landscape of wartime. Through these narratives, readers gain insight into the community's 225-year legacy beyond its elite history.
