Book Description

Excerpt from The Midnight Cry a Novel Ome fifty years ago the traveller through S the Genesee Valley - and there were many seeking farms on its fertile flats in those days - might have seen from the high land stage 'road between Canawagas and Mount Morris, in the wide lowland stretching far to the westward, a big stone chimney and the broad gable of a house, which, as one caught a glimpse of them through the hoary old pine trees, showed in striking contrast with the homes of the most prosperous farmers, even those who had been among the first to take up land on the Phelps and Gorham Purchase. There was little to be seen of the house beside the great chim ney, but the well cleared acres surrounding it the stumpless meadows and cultivated fields the winding avenue of elms, and the great barns.
