Opis

Tells the story of the many African Americans who settled in or passed through this rural, mountainous region of northeastern New York State. From blacks who settled on land gifted to them, to those who worked as waiters in resort hotels, Svenson chronicles their rich and varied experiences, with an emphasis on the 100 years between 1850 and 1950.
