Historian
Blake
McKelvey's
professional
career
is
inextricably
linked
to his
adopted
hometown
,
Rochester
,
New
York
. The
majority
of his
books
are
devoted
to the
city's
history
,
including
the
publication
in
which
this
map
is
found
.
During
the
last
half
of the
19th
century
,
Rochester
was
home
to a
thriving
nursery
industry
,
thus
earning
for
itself
the
nickname
"
Flower
City.
