MARY L asked Jamie Harrison:

Why did you choose Westfield, NY and Chatauqua Co. as the place for Dulcy's childhood and burial place for her father?

Jamie Harrison Hi Mary-I chose the Westfield area because I'd recently discovered that a great-great grandfather grew up in the area. He was the nephew/foster son of a man named Elam Bliss, whose farm I describe in the chapter "A Glass House." I'd hoped to run a print of the farm but I couldn't locate a good enough scan. I've never gotten to visit, but I grew up in a similar orchardy/Great Lakes environment, on the Leelanau Peninsula of Northern Michigan. Thank you for the question! J
