"Lansing at the Crossroads, A Partisan History of the Village of Lansing, New York", by Rita Smidt


I recommend this book as a unique source of information about the formation and early history of the Village of Lansing. It also addresses general trends such as urban sprawl, spreading suburbanization, the disappearance of open lands. the mounting costs of extending urban infrastructure, and the turning away from centralization to local control as the preferred means of solving public problems.
