More DescriptionThe Catskill Mountains of New York. Rip Van Winkle slept here for twenty years and dreamed his long dream. Thomas Cole¿s mysterious landscape paintings helped transform these peaks and valleys into America¿s first destination resort. After that generations of artists, gangsters, and monks found safe haven in myriad forested recesses that are neither nearby nor far away. Tales of buried treasure abound and old air lingers over the region like an autumn mist that never burns off. Everybody agrees, a certain magic suffuses this place known as the ¿Land in the Sky.¿ Via parallel stories told in photo and word, this lithe and quirky volume offers a sample of the mystery and sometimes dread that, to this day, enshrouds the Catskill Mountains.
