Arcadia Publishing Glens Falls History Book

Glens Falls presents a photographic essay of a community on the Hudson River, midway between Saratoga Springs and Lake George. The book spans the years from 1860 to 1925, when Glens Falls was reaching its peak in economic, social, political and cultural growth. Depicted in stunning images are the city's simple beginnings, the days of dirt roads traveled by horse and buggy and its cultural emergence with opera houses, exquisite mansions and public transportation. Clearly portrayed are the educational, religious, business and recreational opportunities of the time.
