By Charles R. Mitchell and Kirk W. House
Long ago, visitors reached Watkins Glen by railroad, steamboat, and horse-drawn wagon. They came to stay in the grand resorts, watch automobile racing in the streets, stroll through the countryside, attend Grange fairs, and ride an early trolley. Today the grand resorts are gone, but millions still come seeking spectacular gorges, the inland sea of Seneca Lake, vast vineyards, fine wineries, and racing. This lavishly illustrated book details those earlier days. "Images of America: Around Watkins Glen" is a wonderful installment in a series that seeks to play a part in the preservation of local heritage.
