Our Town: Ilion, New York by Joseph D. Collea Jr.

Description

Whether read for understanding, confirmation, or pleasure, this book offers a diverse look at how one community helped New York live up to its nickname as the “Empire State,” while at the same time serving as a local microcosm of the growth toward maturity that the whole nation was concurrently undergoing. Through all the decades of social, political, and economic change that came to bear on the village and its residents, Ilion was…and still remains…a nurturing place that countless generations have fondly called “home.”
