| Adventures in History Series: Peter B. Porter and the Buffalo Black Rock Rivalry | | | Description: | | This is an excellent resource for students studying the Erie Canal and/or the War of 1812. The narration of this intense rivalry culminates with the two villages vying for the western terminus of the Erie Canal. Author Joseph A. Grande reveals this exciting drama that nearly resulted in the City of Black-Rock rather than the City of Buffalo as we know it today.
