Description

---

West of Herkimer's Nose, three early highways ran to the provincial capital of York. Along them sprang up settlements. The Loyalists were early arrivals, followed by immigrant families from across the Atlantic and south of the border. Many of the buildings they erected still stand. They are the subject of this book.
