Memories of Early Days in Buffalo - Free
Written by Sylvester J. Matthews in 1913, this manuscript details early life in Buffalo, New York. Buffalo in 1838 was a city of "magnificent distances." The speculative bubbles that had been blown during the previous decade had been burst as in a single night by the panic of '37. Building enterprises of every kind were at a standstill, real estate in great quantities had been thrown into chancery and much more tied up in various ways of litigation, rendering it unavailable for new enterprises that subsequently started up in the '40's, and in some instances even into the '50's.
