Autorenporträt
Brothers Michael Leavy and Glenn Leavy, themselves descendants of Dutchtown, renew the colorful lore of this remarkable and tough neighborhood. Along with more than two hundred stunning images, they enrich Rochester's Dutchtown with memories of seniors who, in some cases, recall the horse-and-buggy days from over eighty years ago.
