About the Author

Peter Lloyd Jones and Stephanie Przybylek have selected images from the collection of the Cayuga Museum to create this compelling journey into the past. It is a tribute—a tribute to the men and women who have built the area into the proud and prosperous place it is today, and to the photographers who have frozen moments of time with their lenses so that we might better understand our past.
