See what some reviewers have said:
“This medley of essays offers a deep dive into the fascinating history of Saratoga County in the eighteenth to twentieth centuries. Readers will learn about the creation of the Saratoga Battlefield in 1926, the first biking path in Saratoga County in 1899, the Ballston Spa monument erected in 1848 to honor fallen soldiers in the Mexican-American War, and the Twin Bridges in 1960 named for Polish-Lithuanian engineer Thaddeus Kosciusko, who played an instrumental role in the American Revolutionary War. But there is also a plenty of local color, too—essays with tempting titles allow readers to get up close and personal about a centenarian’s birthday party, a philandering physician, the “Baking Powder King,” and a manufacturing powerhouse. You will feel like an insider after reading about topics known only to longstanding residents of Saratoga County.”

“The old saying “History Happened in our Backyards” rings true, and the good folks at the Saratoga County History Center prove so with Saratoga County Stories Three. With over 70 stories relating to Saratoga County History, covering topics from the American War for Independence to WWII to unknown hamlets to an MLB pitcher to the many family stories and much more. An excellent job goes out to the writers/historians and the volunteers who put this book together.”
