Around Brockport

By William G. Andrews

Throughout the 20th century, Brockport residents and visitors shared their experiences, sending postcards of the town to friends and family. These postcards
present the important places and events that made visitors come back year after year and made residents proud to call the town home. This book complements the author's pictorial history Around Brockport in Arcadia Publishing's Images of America series. Along with Brockport, the towns of Sweden, Clarkson, and Hamlin are included in this extraordinary collection of postcards. The vintage postcards in this volume span a century of the area's history, presenting a portrait of the streets, buildings, events, and disasters that impacted the time and preserving the memories of the past for future generations.

Reviews for Around Brockport

[darthdeverell · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

William 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.
