SUMMARY:Celebration: Republication of The Catskills by Alf Evers
DESCRIPTION:Celebration: Republication of\nThe Catskills\nby Alf Evers\nAn event to celebrate the republication of The Catskills: From Wilderness to Woodstock by Alf Evers will take place at the Historical Society of Woodstock on Friday\, August 16\, from 7 to 9 pm. Purple Mountain Press of Bovina recently brought out its edition of this definitive regional history. \nFor countless readers over the course of more than fifty years\, Alf’s stand-alone book has served as the gateway to learning about and treasuring the Catskills\, in all the region’s intricate and colorful history. Originally published by Doubleday in 1972 and then in an updated edition by The Overlook Press in 1982\, the book had become unavailable. \nPoet and composer Ed Sanders\, author of Alf Evers: An American Genius\, and Fred Steuding will share their recollections of working closely with Alf towards the latter part of his life\, when both friends assisted with the research and completion of his Kingston: City on the Hudson. \nBorn in 1905\, Evers grew up on a farm in Ulster County within sight of the Catskills. The genesis for The Catskills was when Alf’s frequent articles about local subjects caught the notice of an editor at Doubleday\, who approached him to write a full history. It took him eight years to research and write and was published to great success. Thrilling generations of readers since\, The Catskills presents the lore\, legends\, art and commerce\, flora\, fauna\, and natural and manmade wonders that have made the Catskills one of America’s most historically rich and romantic regions. Not least among its delights is the voice of Alf himself as a storyteller\, entertaining and wry. \n\nPublishing books since the 1980s\, Purple Mountain Press specializes in titles about the Catskills\, Adirondacks and other regions of New York State. In 2020\, founder Wray Rominger of Fleischmanns\, who ran the press with his late wife Loni for many years\, was presented with the Alf Evers Award for Excellence by the Catskill Center for Conservation and Development. The publishing house continues under the stewardship of James and Maureen Krueger. Books can be purchased at www.nysbooks.com.

SUMMARY:Woodstock – An Evolutionary Tale
DESCRIPTION:A Talk by Town Historian\, Richard Heppner\nSaturday August 24 at 4:00 pm.\nAlso – A History Harvest from 2-4:00 pm\nIn conjunction with the Historical Society’s current exhibit\, HSW will present a talk entitled\, Woodstock – An Evolutionary Tale\, by Woodstock Town Historian Richard Heppner on August 24th at 4:00 pm. The talk will be held at the Historical Society’s Eames House Museum on Comeau Drive. Admission is free. \nMuch has unfolded within the shadow of Overlook Mountain since the founding of Woodstock in 1787. Over the course of more than two centuries\, Woodstock has evolved from a rural Catskill Mountain town to what some have proclaimed to be the “most famous small town in America.” During that span\, Woodstock has been buffeted by both internal and external forces unlike other small towns and far beyond what the town’s founding fathers and mothers could have envisioned as the 18th century drew to a close. \nSo how did Woodstock become Woodstock? While it is a tale that goes far beyond a festival that bore its name (though never held here)\, it is a tale that includes hardworking laborers cutting bluestone and working the tannery\, artists\, musicians\, conservative and progressive politics\, tourists\, changing businesses\, generational conflict\, and a collective of townspeople who often saw the world through a slightly different lens. \nDuring his talk\, Heppner will explore the many facets that have combined over the years to create an uncommon history; a history unique in its telling and\, frankly\, hard to imagine. \nRichard Heppner has served as Woodstock’s town historian since 2001. During his tenure\, he has written multiple of books and essays on Woodstock history. His latest book\, Woodstock – From World War to Culture Wars will be released by SUNY Press on October 1. \nAlso\, on August 24 from 2:00-4:00 pm\, HSW will be conducting a “History Harvest.” In an effort to add to the Society’s archives\, if you have a unique photo of Woodstock\, its buildings\, an event\, or a memory of another time\, bring it to the Historical Society that day and it will be scanned\, returned to you and the scan will be added to the Society’s collection. \n
