- catalog abstract ""From Abbots to Zurich provides a glimpse into the history of New York State - and, indeed, the nation. Through the history of its placenames, the larger history of social and political change emerges: shifts in settlement and fashion, in leaders and ethnic prominence, in livelihoods and technologies. The names chronicled here tell the tale of a young and growing nation and how it chose to be identified. In her exploration of 2,500 New York State placenames, Ren Vasiliev reveals the events and commemorates the influential people shaping the region - from the famous to the ordinary, some long forgotten except for their names - and she traces the Native American, classical, and biblical references that serve as guideposts to the ideas, exotic influences, and methods of decision-making informing our past."--Jacket.".
