These people, places, and events will elicit laughs, tears, and even raise a few eyebrows.Told in a light-hearted and entertaining manner, the book reveals some of the most delicious underexposed treasures the region offers. These people, places, and events not only help define Greater Western New York, but have often helped define America as well.

- The home of the Grand Canyon of the East.
- The fascinating story of the mysterious Lost Tribe of Western New York.
- A Rochester-born woman who holds this Hollywood first - that almost wasn't.
- The time a small Western New York hamlet seceded from the Union - and its ensuing oversight.
- The truth behind the story of New York State's smallest town's eerie tragedy.
- How the bumbling British Monarchy helped mark the borders of Greater Western New York.
