| Old West Hurley Revisited is a 200 page history of the village before New York City's Ashokan Reservoir waters buried it in 1917. The first part is an imagined tour which includes 65 black and white photos of various businesses and houses, with descriptions of life at work and at home on a typical day in the early 1900Ęs. There are four maps and a key to identify each lot and each building on it, which are cross-referenced with the photos for an easy understanding of the village layout. Then, the remaining 2/3s of the book is split between the Methodist Church records and a year-by-year listing of all the newspaper articles about West Hurley. This is truly a detailed examination of the life of a community now lost. 8x10 |
