 Books: by Title: Symbol & Show: The Pan-American
Exposition of 1901
Originally published in 1987, this popular book has been out
of print for several years. Symbol & Show: The
Pan-American Exposition of 1901 was written by the late Austin M. Fox and illustrated by Lawrence McIntyre. The new edition is
being released to commemorate the Pan-Am's centennial.
Symbol & Show offers a riveting look at
perhaps the greatest event in Buffalo's history. The 128-page
book gives readers a lively assessment of the Exposition,
bringing to light many half-forgotten facts. The major buildings
are beautifully illustrated, as are many of the lesser-known
structures. For example, various state buildings, the U.S.
Territorial buildings and those of the Latin-American countries
are included in all their nostalgic appeal.
The book also offers a glimpse of the Pan-Am's bustling midway
and features a copy of the original map pinpointing the locations
of all attractions.
Also included in this unique book:
- The movers and shakers of the Pan-Am.
- The sculptures and paintings.
- The sports in the stadium.
- The tragedy.
- A financial appraisal of the Pan-Am.
- The area today.
