City historian turns to local waters for subject matter of latest book

From the Niagara Falls Review:

While he normally focuses on Niagara Falls, city historian and author Sherman Zavitz plunged into deeper waters this time around for his sixth book.

“The Niagara River - The Ontario Shore” will be released today and features a photographic history of the river from Fort Erie to Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Filled with more than 170 photographs and engravings, the book traces the history of the river from the late 1800s to the early 1900s.

“It’s a pretty good representation on how things used to be. It shows different aspects of life along the river,” Zavitz said.
