Remembering the Sullivan County Catskills

by John Conway
ebook
Read a sample Read a sample
Compiled from the best of John Conway's popular "Retrospect"
column, these articles shine a spotlight on famous faces of the past, from George Suslosky, phenomenal yet feisty diner cook, to "the worst woman on earth," Lizzie Brown Halliday. Enlightening and entertaining, the remarkable historical vignettes in this volume explore the customs and curiosities of the Sullivan County Catskills. High on a bank in Craig-e-Clare sat the stately Dundas Castle, rumored to house a beautiful woman who lured fishermen from the Beaverkill River into her lair. In the hamlet of De Bruce, every spring a monstrous panther prowled, feasting on trout and tourists. These are no
myths from the dark history of foreign lands, but tales from the colorful past of Sullivan County, New York.
