SAGA OF THE RIDGE by J. Howard Pratt, pub. 1983, soft cover, 213 pages. About western NY history centering around the famous Ridge Road which runs from Lewiston through Orleans County.

Very interesting section on the Gaines Militia mounting up to head West to fight the British during the war of 1812, December, majority barefoot, three feet of snow, etc.
