Description



Book Synopsis



New York's Finger Lakes region is filled with compelling characters, tragic disasters and fascinating mysteries.


Famed daredevil Sam Patch, known as the Yankee Leaper, thrilled audiences at Niagara Falls but took his last jump into the Genesee River with his pet black bear, plummeting to his death. The first ever Memorial Day was celebrated in Waterloo in 1866 and inspired a nation to adopt the holiday. Seneca Lake claims its fair share of ships, including the Onondaga, which was blown up with dynamite as part of a spectacle to commemorate the sinking of the USS Maine. Author Patti Unvericht reveals the forgotten history of the Finger Lakes region.



About the Author



Patti Unvericht is a wife and mother of two wonderful children, and resides in Rochester, NY, with her husband Stephen Giglio. Patti is a history buff and a member of the Friends of Mount Hope. Her passions are ghosts, spirits, and things that go bump in the night, especially those in her own "backyard" of Western New York and the Finger Lakes region.
