From NEW YORK FOLKLORE (Vol. 10, Nos. 3-4):
"Buffalo has been a frontier of the young Republic, a way station in the great westward migration, the western end of the Erie Canal, a northern terminus of the Underground Railway, a site of the 1901 Pan American Exposition, a flourishing port in the Great Lakes trade, the second largest city in the Empire State, a pleasant haven for the development of music, art, religion, scholarship, and athletics, and home of chicken wings and beef on kummelweck."—Phillips Stevens, Jr. ("Editor’s Introduction—Folklore: The Lifeblood of the City")
