Buffalo's Legacy of Power and Might
Michael F. Rizzo was born in Buffalo, New York. He spent his early years growing up the oldest of three.  In 2002 Michael purchased a home in the city of Buffalo on a street experiencing a renaissance. The home was built in 1893 and as he researched the previous owners and their lives he suddenly fell in love with history.  He would go on to write a series of articles on old homes for the Buffalo News. His first book was released in 2005 after languishing for 15 years. His second book was released in 2007 and his third book was released on October 2, 2009. Michael's love for history continues as he writes, reads and researches for future books. He hopes his son learns to love history much earlier than he did.
