Great historical guide to the Catskills,
By Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Catskills: An Illustrated Historical Guide with Gazetteer (Paperback)
This is a fascinating book just loaded with historical information about the Catskills region of New York. Adams divides his book into four major sections (Geography; History; Legends, Literature and Art; and Gazetteer); this last mentioned section is by far the longest (almost half the book) and contains a listing with description of just about every named natural and human associated feature found in the Catskills. Anyone actually visiting the area will find this section very useful and informative.
Within the other sections Adams discusses railroads, modern highways, early exploration, famous hotels, famous people, and the art and literature of the region. He relates quite a few legends in full. There are also lots of photos (current and historical). An excellent guide in every way. |
