Story
Main Street is “a triumph.” Erik Brady, Buffalo News. On a Roller Coaster: 1902-1939 is the fifth book in the series Main Street: The History of Buffalo. The era is a roller-coaster ride of economic boom and bust—and mayors of titanic achievement. At the start of the book, as the Pan-American Exposition in North Buffalo is torn down, a city of steel rises along Lake Erie just south of town—the massive new steel plant. In the business center of town, churches of Joseph’s Ellicott’s Buffalo are selling off their lots and moving north from Downtown to be closer to with parishioners...

Story
Into the Temple of Music culminates in the tragic confrontation of President William McKinley and assassin Leon Czolgosz in the Temple of Music of the Pan American Exposition. The rapid growth of industry and trade in Buffalo created fortunes larger than ever known before. The wealthy built many fine homes described in this book.

Story
Into the Whirlwind, the third volume of the series Main Street: The History of Buffalo, tells the story of the years leading up to the American Civil War through the point of view of the growing city of Buffalo.

The book tells the story of the small African-American community in Buffalo that helped on the road to Canada. Early White abolitionist George Washington Jonson left a vast diary describing his efforts on behalf of African Americans--efforts often unpopular...
