Letter : Long Beach, Calif., to Frank H. Severance, 1918 Aug. 12.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/59758253

Letter to Frank H. Severance, 12 Aug. 1918, commenting on volume fifteen of the Buffalo Historical Society publications. Snow notes buildings and structures omitted from the "Old Houses" chapter of the volume, including the First Universalist Church of Buffalo, between Swan and South Division Streets, the Louis Le Couteulx house between Main, Washington, and Exchange Streets, and Gothic Hall. Snow compares the Niagara River to the stages of life, and mentions his meeting with Oran Follett, the first man to sell a lot on Main Street, Buffalo, for one hundred dollars per foot. He also relates an amusing incident involving the 1852 Democratic convention's mistrust of the early telegraph between Washington, D.C. and Baltimore.
