213; 212 pp. Two volume set. The Southern Tier is the row of New York States counties that hug the Pennsylvania line. It is a picturesque region with a dramatic history but hitherto singularly unsung. Arch Merrill tells the story of the four Western counties of "the Tier", Chautauqua, Cattaraugus, Allegany and Steuben. He has done for the Southern Tier what he did for the Genesee Valley, the Finger Lakes country and the other Upstate regions of his books. The Southern Tier book is written with special feeling, for the author was born there.
