The Niagara Frontier's Unwritten History

by Neil O'Donnell

Overview

The Niagara Frontier has been blessed in the fact that the region’s ar-chaeological record has long been held in capable hands. Frederick M. Houghton along with A.L. Benedict were the initial stalwarts who identified and excavated at numerous sites throughout the region, the former detailing his efforts and analyses extensively in archaeological journals. In time, Marian White took the reins of archaeological reconnaissance in the Niagara Frontier, establishing the University at Buffalo’s archaeological survey program as well as overseeing the analysis and curation of regional museum collections. As for Dr. White’s excavations, they provided an extensive understanding of site locations as well as the progression of prehistoric Iroquoian communities within the Niagara Frontier.

About the Author

A life-long resident of New York’s Niagara Frontier, Neil spent years developing short stories based around his life and homeland. In time, every geographical feature of the Western New York landscape morphed into the scenery of his conjured realm, which readers know as Tropal. While a student at Buffalo State College, O’Donnell started incorporating his studies in Anthropology into his writing, delving deeply into the discord and compromise that arises when societies interact. Ultimately, O’Donnell’s personal and educational experiences merged to form tales where individuals and communities overcome scarcity, injustice, and war to find prosperity, equality, and peace.
O’Donnell currently resides in Lancaster, New York, balancing his time between his family, writing, and working as a college instructor and academic advisor. O’Donnell also is striving to raise awareness of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), a disorder he’s personally battled since childhood.
