Monumental New York! highlights thirty of the most fascinating
statues and memorials found throughout Upstate New York. D'Imperio
leads readers through the state's rich history as he explores some
of the famous and lesser-known monuments of the region. You will
meet the canal diggers who muscled their way across the state
trenching "Clinton's Ditch" and learn about the "Female Paul
Revere." Featuring memorial tributes to such well-known historical
figures as John Brown, FDR, and Carl Sagan, the book also includes
the site of Upstate New York's infamous Civil War prison camp and
the chilling "Jerry Rescue Monument." These monuments are scattered
from cities such as Albany and Buffalo to the many little-known
towns that populate the state. Each chapter offers detailed
information on the history and significance of each monument as
well as useful travel information about the area. D'Imperio's
engaging narrative, detailed research, and infectious enthusiasm
for Upstate New York make this an ideal guidebook, one that
visitors and residents alike will treasure for years to come.
