Description

Although Susan B. Anthony, as one of America’s most famous women, has been honored by appearing on postage stamps and coinage, the story of how she got there – and the times that attempts to commemorate her in that manner failed – hasn’t been told. In “Stamping on Rochester and Susan B”, and “What’s (Not) in Your Wallet”, Michael J. Nighan tells the story of the successes and failures in honoring Miss Anthony. For many years Michael Nighan has written and lectured about the local history of the Genesee region.  He currently serves as a trustee of the Honeoye-Richmond Historical Society.
