By John M. Ham and Robert K. Bucenec. New edition with clearer photos and some additional material. How did the adventurous traveler get to the Catskill Mountains over 100 years ago to fill the 1,400 guest rooms of the Catskill Mountain House and Hotel Kaaterskill? Besides a steamboat trip up the Hudson and a bone-shattering stagecoach ride up the mountain, there was the railroad. Both the Stony Clove & Catskill Mountain RR and the Kaaterskill RR helped spur the economic growth of all the towns along their routes, and the Greene County Mountaintop itself, by helping to keep these hotels, and the many others in the region, filled. Author John Ham combines his lifelong interest in the area's railroads with his unsurpassed collection of b&w photographs . 8.5x11 271 pages full color fold-out map 500+/- b&w photos Hardcover (while supplies last!)
