1Profiles Volume II: Historic & Influential People from Buffalo & WNY - the Early 1900s profiles 75 people that contributed to industry, business, politics, law, communications, sports, entertainment, and culture in Western New York during the early 1900s (1900 to 1950). The book differs from Volume I: Historic & Influential People from Buffalo & WNY - the 1800s as the biological sketches are more detailed and include information about family members and/or associates of the individual being profiled, along with the residences, buildings, and businesses they built. This approach yields details about hundreds of contributors to the fabric of WNY during the first half of the 20th century.
