Western New York's Yates County is perhaps best known for its three Finger Lakes: Canandaigua, Keuka and Seneca. But beyond these shores, the story of Yates County is one of daring suffragettes and strong athletes, victories and defeat and all the bygone days that make up the memories of a community. The county had its own wine tycoon, as well as a renowned writer, Leon Lewis, who left Penn Yan with more than one mystery. Later, a fire destroyed much of Penn Yan in 1872's great conflagration. The women of Yates made their own mark on history and held a suffrage convention just a few years after Seneca Falls. With this collection of the best of his Yates Past "columns, local author Richard MacAlpine reveals the remarkable history and spirit of Yates County."

The grand age of steamboats on Keuka Lake began in 1835 and was vital to the development of the region. The boats carried excursionists--Victorian tourists--to the resorts and cottages that lined the lakeshore. The communities of Penn Yan, Hammondsport and Branchport that anchor the three branches of the Y-shaped lake flourished. This prosperity helped grow the area's grape and wine production that is so celebrated today. Though the last steamboats were taken out of service in 1915, the romance and nostalgia of the period are preserved in tales of glamorous steamers, the people who worked and traveled on them, the resorts they served and the history they made. Local historians Richard MacAlpine and Charles Mitchell capture the stories, anecdotes and photos from this bygone period.

When war was declared in September 1939, everyday life for British citizens changed almost overnight. At the time, Winifred Graville of Sheffield, a gardener, writer and speaker well known in her local area, wrote a series of letters to her American cousin in Penn Yan, New York, describing the hardships and typical daily struggles her city experienced during the Blitz. At a time when American public opinion was strictly isolationist, Winifred's cousin convinced the editor of a local newspaper to publish excerpts from 150 letters in the hope of influencing public opinion in a small way. In Letters from the Blitz, Richard MacAlpine has gathered the published letters into a fascinating collection. At times poignant, often humorous, and always beautifully written and full of detail, Winifred's letters clearly illustrate the 'Keep Calm and Carry On' attitude of the British people during that difficult time and provide an insight into wartime life.

Penn Yan, a small village at the north end of Keuka Lake in New York's Finger Lakes, is a special place, not only for those who have lived there, but for families whose ancestors shared a time in Yates and Steuben Counties. These stories about life in the 1920s and 1930s are mostly true, as true as memory and imagination can combine. Al Jensen, a sixth-generation descendant of Finger Lakes families including the Parkers, Gays, Laflers, Lownsberrys and Tylers, grew up in Penn Yan and on Keuka Lake. "Learning to Walk," "The 1932 Yates County Oil Well," "Good Strong Food," "How I Learned to Lie," and "Ice Boating on Keuka Lake" are just a few of the tales of every day life for a small town boy. Every day, that is, for a boy whose playground was a lake and the surrounding countryside; whose toys had wheels and keels, and whose heroes were real people who did ordinary things in extraordinary ways.Illustrated with more than 100 original, previously unpublished photographs taken between 1918 - 1937.

Penn Yan and Keuka Lake share a history that is rich in architecture, industry, and tradition. While "Penn Yan" may sound like an Anglicized Chinese dish, it most certainly isn't--the unique name was chosen because the first people to settle in the village in 1833 on the edge of New York's Keuka Lake were comprised of Yankees from New England and Pennsylvania. The town's name is just one of the many distinctive aspects of Penn Yan and Keuka Lake's intriguing past; the town has long had a commercial district, much of which occupies the historic district today. Still standing in the historic district are many of the elegant houses and business buildings that were constructed in the 19th century, reflecting the broad range of architecture used in the village's development over the decades.
