WARS, RELIGION, SICKNESS, FOOD, AND POOR WOMEN
Historian Michael J. Eula offers a story of one region in upstate New York that reveals drama and relevancy for our own day. It is the story of Genesee County and its links with the story of America over the last three centuries. It is a story revealing the often overlooked aspects of such central developments as the Civil War and the First World War. It is a tale of religion replete with a heresy trial in the twentieth century and the study of human skulls. It is the duplicity of hidden presidential illnesses, along with the emergence of food fads and healthy eating. It is also the story of enslaved people in New York. There are topics that are explored that do not make it into the typical history book. They are topics drawn from Genesee County’s past illustrating the story of America itself from the nineteenth century on, and they point to a deeper understanding of America today. As one reviewer put it, “Each section covers a wide range of topics spanning history and politics, yet the writing remains accessible and easy to follow. . . the result is an engrossing read.”
