About this ebook
The first settlers came to the Brockport area soon after 1800. Located some twenty miles west of Rochester, the towns of Sweden and Clarkson, the village of Brockport, and a college were organized between 1814 and 1835. The Erie Canal, farm implement manufacturing, and higher education fostered their growth and prosperity in the mid-1800s. At Brockport, the United States became a continental nation, the Industrial Revolution came to agriculture, and popular literature came to American women. Today, Brockport is a remarkably well-preserved Victorian village on a revitalized Erie Canal, Clarkson and Sweden are havens for farming and commuting, and the college is an 8,500-student unit of the State University of New York. Around Brockport presents more than two hundred thirty images from private and public collections, many from glass negatives. They depict such aspects of the area's history as farm life in early Sweden, stately homes at Clarkson Corners, industrial plants in Brockport, and student activities at the normal school.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5William G. Andrews’s Around Brockport, as part of the Images of America series, uses photographs and historic drawings to tell the story of a community, in this case the communities that made up the Triangle Tract purchase west of Rochester. Andrews, an historian of Brockport, focuses on the towns of Sweden and Clarkson, the village of Brockport, and the college in Brockport, later part of the State University of New York. Photographs focus on historic figures, buildings, landscapes, and technology, with several side-by-side comparisons to show a century or more’s worth of change. Like Andrews’s Brockport Through Time, this consists primarily of photographs with explicatory captions and will appeal to residents of Brockport and its surrounding communities and will also make a nice gift for recent graduates from the College at Brockport.Andrews has written several previous books about Brockport’s history, including Early Brockport (2005, published on the occasion of the village’s 175th anniversary), Civil War Brockport: A Canal Town and the Union Army (2013, part of the History Press’s Civil War Series), and Brockport in the Age of Modernization: 1866-1916 (2018, part of the America Through Time series). For those interested more specifically in the history of SUNY Brockport, The Campus History Series’ State University of New York at Brockport by Mary Jo Gigliotti, W. Bruce Leslie, and Kenneth P. O’Brien will make an equally appealing read.
