McKelvey has compressed his encyclopedic knowledge of the city on the Genesee into one volume. . . . McKelvey remains a pioneer urban historian.-- "Journal of American History"

McKelvey is eminently qualified to write a one-volume historical survey of Rochester. . . . He writes in an informative and interesting style. This book should be of value to general readers and to those interested in urban history.-- "New York History"
