The Tavern Lamps are Burning - Literary Journeys Through Six Regions and Four Centuries of NY States

This collection, complemented by 40 paintings from the collection of the New York State Historical Association, gives us upstate New York from a myriad of its inhabitants and visitors, a multifaceted portrait of an area about which Carmer hopes 'the peppered reader will be convinced that there is an over-all one of a kind nonesuchness that separates upstate from the rest of the world.'
