Into The Darkness by Barbara Michaels / Niagara Falls 1850-200 by Paul Gromosiak & Christopher Stoianoff / Western New York Amusement Parks by Rose Ann Hirsch
Into The Darkness - "Upon the death of her grandfather, Meg Venturi unexpectedly inherits the eccentric millionaire's antique jewelry business. There is one catch to her sudden windfall-she must share the wealth with a taciturn and oddly attractive young man who has an entire town stirring up rumors-about murderous secrets and a dark legacy. Now Meg is about to learn the truth behind an old adage: all that glitters is not gold..." -- from www.amazon.com
Interesting book...nothing fabulous but a decent thriller.

Niagara Falls 1850-2000 - "Since their creation thousands of years ago, the Niagara Falls have captured the hearts and imaginations of all those who witness their endless power and strength. As settlers arrived and began to harness the falls as a resource, the population climbed. Small hamlets, including Bellevue, Clarksville, Schlosser, and Manchester, grew to become the villages of Suspension Bridge and Niagara Falls, which were incorporated in March 1892 into the current city of Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls: 1850-2000 depicts the natural beauty of the falls, the emergence of the booming tourism trade, and the advances of electrical technology that have relied on the mighty falls' power. Many hands have crafted and bent steel to span the Niagara Gorge while many others fought to keep industry from turning nature into asphalt. Culled from the archives of the Niagara Falls Public Library's Local History Department, these images represent the people, from those stepping close to the brink in amazement and awe to those who live and work within the roar of Niagara Falls, and places that make up the landscape that is Niagara's past." -- from www.amazon.com
Western New York Amusement Parks - "For more than 100 years, western New Yorkers have enjoyed the region's exciting amusement parks. During the days of trolleys and steamships, area businessmen created Celoron Park, Crystal Beach Park, and other fine local summer resorts. Decades later, lifelong memories were formed for neighborhood baby boomers who visited Glen Park and Fantasy Island, as well as one of New York State's finest theme parks, Darien Lake. Western New York has always been a proving ground for some of the nation's most famous roller coasters. The terrifying Cyclone, the fast and furious Silver Comet, and the extreme Ride of Steel have attracted the very bravest of visitors. In the new millennium, the summer tradition of visiting local amusement parks continues with a blend of family-orientated parks and theme parks that appeal to all ages." -- from www.amazon.com
I love the "Images Of America" books and I especially enjoyed these two books about the area I grew up in.
