But beyond these shores,the story of Yates County is one of daring suffragettes and strong athletes,victories and defeat and all the bygone days that make up the memories of acommunity. The county had its own wine tycoon, as well as a renowned writer,Leon Lewis, who left Penn Yan with more than one mystery. Later, a fire destroyedmuch of Penn Yan in 1872’s great conflagration. The women of Yates made theirown mark on history and held a suffrage convention just a few years afterSeneca Falls. With this collection of the best of his Yates Past columns, local author Richard MacAlpine reveals theremarkable history and spirit of Yates County.
