Book Details
First Sentence
"As best as can be determined, the first book ever published about the Catskills was a slim volume devoted entirely to a 1753 expedition into researching the plant life of upstate New York, although valuable light was also shed on these early explorers' accommodations: "7 or 8 of us ... in ye hut hardly big enough for A hen roost.""
