Shining light on a subject that has not received enough in-depth attention, this work explains the many fascinating associations of the city of Buffalo, New York with the American presidency. From General William Henry Harrison's visit during the War of 1812 to Donald Trump's 2016 campaign foray, this book covers all presidential events in the area. Future, former and incumbent chief executives, as well as cabinet members and well-known dignitaries, are all included in this comprehensive survey of their visits and activities in the Queen City. While the careers of local favorites Millard Fillmore and Grover Cleveland, and the tragic assassination of William McKinley all receive their due, the author has expanded his scope far beyond those subjects. President James Monroe's 1817 visit is covered; so too is the storied visit of President-elect Lincoln, a stealthy overnight stop by President Grant, and JFK's famous 1962 address in Niagara Square, among many others. Unnoticed connections between the presidents and Buffalo are highlighted in these pages, as well as one intriguing fact that has been hidden for more than a century--that Theodore Roosevelt was not the first incumbent president of the United States to leave the country. A welcome addition to the literature about the fascinating past of Buffalo and the Niagara Frontier, this is an enjoyable read for historians and residents of the area who wish to become more familiar with their local history and its connection to national politics.
