Second Printing. There were a couple of unknown and unintentional errors in the book, so this is a second printing, rectifying those errors. Balls-Town: A Community of History, Friends, Neighbors, and Lingering Spirits. Every life, every death tells a story. Long before the Towns of Milton and Ballston stood apart, they were one-Balls-Town. This book is not just a history of the land, but a tribute to the lives that shaped it: settlers and poets, neighbors and forgotten voices. Their stories-some buried, some nearly lost-are revived here through historical accounts, personal writings, and heartfelt homage. From the incorporation of Ballston Spa to the quiet echoes of those who walked these streets, Balls-Town invites readers to witness a community stitched together by memory, resilience, and spirit. It honors not only the prominent, but the overlooked-the storytellers whose words once graced these lands and deserve to be heard again. I'm Amy Shannon. This is my hometown. And this is its story.
Autorenporträt
Amy Shannon is a legend keeper, storyteller, and historian whose roots run deep in upstate New York. A lifelong resident of the Capital Region-Albany, Schenectady, and Saratoga Counties-Amy calls the Ballston Spa/Malta area her true hometown, a place where she's planted her heart and built a life of meaning.A mother of four, Amy shares a close bond with three of her sons, each one a steadfast supporter of her creative journey. She is the founder of the acclaimed Amy's Bookshelf Reviews, a professional book reviewer, editor, author promoter, and host of the Amy's Bookshelf Reviews podcast on Spotify.Amy's literary path began with full-length, dramatic, character-driven fiction. As her health shifted, so did her storytelling-toward short stories, children's books, and historical nonfiction. In 2024, she published Balls-Town: A Community of History, Friends, Neighbors, and Lingering Spirits, a tribute to the pioneers of Balls-Town that earned a spot on Amazon's historical best-sellers list.Her historical article More than a Guiding Force: The Life and Legacy of Lucretia Booth, published in the Saratoga County Roundtable and Historical Society journal (July-August 2025), marked her emergence as a local historian. It ignited a passion to preserve the lives of those whose names risk fading from memory-individuals from Balls-Town and its neighboring communities who deserve more than a footnote.Amy writes with purpose: to honor, to remember, and to inspire. Her words are vessels of legacy, carrying stories forward so that no one is forgotten.
