Rediscover the Dubuque Trail and the beautiful summer lake retreats, along with the Cook Hotel, the Central Fire Station and more.

The author of Lost Rochester explores more Med City history beyond the medicine. Stories surrounding the establishment of Rochester as a medical mecca are well documented and often showcased, but countless other tales haven't received as much attention. William Costley, son of the first slave freed by Abraham Lincoln, lived his last few months at Rochester State Hospital. Beloved citizen Reinhold Bach sailed aboard the doomed ocean liner the Empress of Ireland. The life of Minnie Bowron, hired as the city's first policewoman in 1917, offers an intriguing story, and teenager Lottie Schermerhorn awed crowds during the Roaring Twenties with daredevil aerial stunts. Join historian Amy Jo Hahn on an engaging narrative journey, a revelation of fascinating characters who made their mark on Rochester.

"What Was Taken is a fictionalized account of my real life story of abduction by serial killer, David James Torgerson, whose path crossed mine when I was just ten years old. Although based on true events, the narrative, character motivations and intentions have been created from my imagination. I conducted extensive research by interviewing sisters of each murdered girl and gathering crime scene facts from Minneapolis police reports; Olmstead County Sheriff records; Grand Rapids, Michigan, police recordings; courthouse transcripts from Mower and Olmstead County Courts in Minnesota, as well as databases located at the Minnesota Historical Center."--
