The astonishing history of early New York State and the Niagara Frontier come to life in the the story of an Irish family struggling to survive during the turbulent years of early Western New York.
Danny Dailey settles along the Buffalo Creek with his family and befriends the neighboring Seneca Indians. Swept up in the War of 1812, he fights at the Battle of Queenston and through the subsequent Niagara Campaign culminating with the Burning of Buffalo.
The family struggles through the worldwide starvation of the Red Sun, when in 1816, it snowed 11 out of 12 months killing all of the crops. Finding work building the Erie Canal, they end up plying Clinton's Ditch for years, eventually settling back in Buffalo, where the family sticks together through the cholera epidemic, the Panic of 1837 and finally the seiche (inland tsunami) that destroyed Buffalo in 1844.
The story is firmly rooted in historical fact and many of the characters are prominent figures from the era. It is a fascinating tale that accurately portrays the harshness of life on the Niagara Frontier through the eyes of captivating characters.
