Good overview with pictures of the various stages of a town in upstate New YorkBy CameronsMy fathers ancestral line emigrated to the U.S. and settled in Dunkirk; New York in the 2nd half of the 19th century. As such; I was interested in the history and pictures of the town where my relatives got their start. My review is within that lens.The book gives a good high-level history of the various epochs in Dunkirks history; with key turning points from one to the next. For example: Dunkirk as a fishing town or a lumber town; Dunkirk as a railroad terminus; Dunkirk as an industrial giant for the region; and Dunkirk in decline and reinvention. There are a good smattering of pictures throughout. It is a good; easy read for an idea of the evolution of a town in upstate New York and the tie-in to the trends of the day.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. lots of great information about the founding of the city and some ...By Steve Dlots of great information about the founding of the city and some of the early families - would have like to have seen more stories of the "everday" folk instead of just the influential families.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
