Synopsis

Westcott's Tale: Revisiting 19th Century Central New York. Edward Noyes Westcott's literary deadline was death itself. This Syracuse author struggled through an agonizing terminal illness and frantically completed his novel, David Harum. His book, with direct parallels to people and places in central New York, became a bestseller with over one million copies sold. Westcott's Tale: Revisiting 19th Century Central New York presents compelling evidence that Westcott's steadfast motivation to finish his book was to reconcile the shame that had plagued him-a disgrace brought to his family years earlier. Westcott's Tale: Revisiting 19th Century Central New York traces Westcott's life, the people and places that influenced him, and the legacy of his book.
