an autobiographical account of the experiences of a migrant farmhand in
More Than One Journey; Wayne Morrison, whose definitive History of Clyde,
New York has been an invaluable historical resource for Galen residents
for more than fifty years; Pat Morrison, who recently published For Wood & Water,
an account of the stop of Abraham Lincoln’s inaugural train in 1861;
