    1. Suggestions re History of Niagara Frontier
    2. Hi fellow listers, I'm looking for your suggestions & will appreciate all comments etc. Recently I read a "memoir" of a former classmate from Lewiston & when I passed it on to husband & children they had a lot of questions about the area. I do have a fairly good memory I think & the history we learned so well in school there, as I liven in Lewiston until I was nearly 16. . . . but at the same time, I'm also absolutely sure I will miss a lot if I try singlehandedly to talk about many things. I would like to be able to hand them a good book about the area, dealing with local settlement, political & geographical developments throughout the colonial period, landmarks etc up until perhaps sometime after the war of 1812. Does anyone have a favorite that would make the Niagara frontier come alive for my husband & adult children who haven't a clue what terms like "escarpment" mean or who General Brock was. Much appreciation, Susan McMackin Reynolds in Lewes DE, "the first town in the first state"
