great history of a unique new york town

This book documents the rise and fall of this once flourishing spa resort village. Although much has changed since the book was written in the early 1980's, it summarizes and reflects the history of the village at the time. There is a new book published by the Sharon Historical Society called, "Reflections on Sharon", a pictorial history from 1797-1997 which details 200 years of the town & village. It also documents the more recent history through 1997 and illustrates Sharon's current push towards revitalization with the infusion of new residents and businesses.Only 1000 books were printed and they are already almost sold out.

Makes one cherish having been born in the free United States of America. With our free-market system, we get to engage in trial and error to see how things are working (or not working), and then get a chance at reform. In the Soviet Union, however, reforming an "evil empire" is a much bigger task than doing so in the free world. Makes me glad I was born in America.
