Folks--

I have been hired to teach a one-semester New York State history course at
the university level for this coming fall term.  In hopes of offering
students a variety of sources from which to work, I'm looking for teachable
novels about the state, but preferably ones that are not solely about New
York City.  Any suggestions?

------------------------------

Especially given your location, take a look at 'Farmer Boy' by Laura Ingalls Wilder - the story about her husband's boyhood on a farm in northern New York (and the only Wilder book I ever really liked!)  I use it in a NYS History class myself.
