Legends of the Shawangunk (PDF)
by Philip H. Smith
Originally published 1887 - (PDF 2.13Mb, 209pp)
The author has drawn on a variety of sources to present
a history of the Shawangunk region (pronounced "Shon-gum") and
its early settlers. Like so many 19th century local histories, this blood-soaked
account of Indian rampages and depredations preserves the glory days of
the colonial era. Accounts of the Esopus Wars, Huguenot settlers, Tom Quick,
Indian massacres, Catherine DuBois, the Battle of Minisink, and other important
events of the colonial and Revolutionary era are presented with spirit and
style. The book also preserves a variety of tales relating to important
regional landmarks, such as Sam's Point, The Traps, and New Paltz. There
are about a dozen original illustrations.
This masterfully crafted eBook faithfully preserves the
1887 edition in its entirety, including illustrations and footnotes which
have been eliminated from modern reprints.
The Digital Edition (Adobe PDF 1.4) is published
in portrait orientation; extensive footnotes appear on the pages in which
they are referenced; fully-searchable, fully-printable.
