"Nearly forty years ago, Larry Tompkins, a seventh-generation resident of Greene County's Catskill mountaintop community, began collecting photographs, ephemera, memorabilia, and -- most importantly -- knowledge of the history of the villages of Windham, Prattsville and Ashland, the hamlets of Big Hollow (Maplecrest) and Hensonville, and their outlying settlements such as East Windham, Union Society, Red Falls, Brook Lynne, and North Settlement. Over the years that collection grew to become one of the most remarkable records of community life to be found anywhere in the Catskill Mountain region. The 400 photographs, maps, and ephemera in this book are just a sample." -- Back cover.
