Note

(One of the best collections of stories and lore of New York State, much of it from the Genesee region; Carmer retells the familiar stories of William Morgan, Jemima Wilkinson, Joseph Smith, and the Fox Sisters, but also has personal impressions of Geneseo, Rochester, the Bristol Hills, and the Tonawanda Reservation. The author in this book is something of a populist, suspicious of the wealthy and sympathetic with “plain folks.”)
