New York: Taintor Brothers & Co, 1867. First Edition, First Printing. Good/No Dust Jacket, As Issued. The bindings are tight and square. Text is clean; light, even age-toning. Moderate shelf handling wear, with loss of upper spine band.. The Catskill Mountains and the Region Around: Their Scenery, Legends, and History by Charles Rockwell offers a detailed and picturesque exploration of the Catskills, blending natural history, folklore, and cultural anecdotes. Rockwell, a 19th-century historian and traveler, documents the region's rugged mountains, waterfalls, and valleys with an eye for both scenic beauty and geological detail. Interwoven with his descriptions are legends of Native American tribes, early European settlers, and local lore that illustrate the human history of the area. The work also examines economic activities, including farming, logging, and tourism, giving readers a comprehensive understanding of the region's development and cultural significance. Rockwell's narrative balances empirical observation with storytelling, making it accessible to travelers, historians, and those intrigued by the intersection of nature and legend. The book serves as both a guide and a historical record, reflecting the mid-19th-century fascination with American landscapes and regional identity.
