Great Hudson, Mighty King— And fair Half Moon, Your modest ship of state — Whence came you up our river? To see these Mountains great? You sought not age long glory But left an honored nane — For Hudson Bay and River Hath brought you added fame. HENRY HUDSON 1609 It is not disputed that Hendrick Hudson in the Half Moon visited Catskill in 1 609, after a trip of several weeks up the Hudson River. Just how long he remained does not matter. Indians met him in their bark canoes. Doubt- less they were members of the five tribes who gave names to the streams, and mountain ranges. The Indians called the river Mahacanntuck, and they called the mountains the Onteoras. They regarded the Half Moon as the Manitou or Great Spirit. Spirit indeed it was, for as time rolled on came civilization to the section, the sloops being followed by steam vessels, of which the Clermont was the first steamer in 1807. Other boats fallowed, Armenia, Alida, Francis Skiddy, Daniel Drew, and many other great steamers, the last and greatest being the great floating palaces of the Day Line, of which the Hendrick Hudson, Robert Fulton and Washington Irving take their names from the great historicals that made famous the region of the Catskill Mountains. LAND OF THE ONTEORAS ^CXERMONT" 1807 The Clermont sailed from Paulus Hook (Jersey City), Sept. 4, 1807, at 6 a. m. and arrived at Albany on Saturday, Sept. 5th at 6 p. m. Steamers make the trip now in 8 hours and the fast N. Y. Central trains in 3 hours. Fulton's boat, which appeared in the Hudson Fulton parade, could make about 3 miles an hour. The first locomotive was the DeWitt Clinton, made at West Point and was taken to Albany by boat, where it was put in operation on the Mohawk- Hudson Railroad. It made the trip to Schenectady in one hour and 45 minutes. This was a speed of 7 miles an hour. The third railroad in the state was from Catskill to Oak Hill and the cars and locomotive were of the same pattern, which we show in cut. Compare all of this with the present day boats, trains, automobiles and air ships. Greene county is famous for its mountains, lakes, and waterfalls. There are fourteen towns, and all are more or less devoted to the entertaining of city guests in the summer season, when the vacation time is on. Catskill is the distributing point to the entire section, being the point of landing of the Day Line steamers, and main stations of the N. Y. Central and West Shore rail- roads.

Where pictured rock to left and right, Guide travelers to the mountain height. HAUNTS OF RIP VAN WINKLE The completion of the two great railroads and the adven f of the river greyhounds made possible the boarding industry that has dotted the mountain section with well kept and commodious boarding houses. Good roads and automobiles have served to bring the mountain section within a few hours of the crowded city centers, and the pure air, and health giving influences of ihe Catskills have made them the resort for millions seeking rest recreation and health. The Plodding Ox Once Drew the Load — The Speeding Motor Now Need-; not the Goad With the advent of the automobile the railroads were forced to give way. State roads were building along the great arteries of travel. The mountain section commenced to get them. The importance of connecting up the moun- tain section resulted in the building of the Clove road. George B. Van Valken- burgh, Hon. J. Lewis Patrie, George H. Chase and Harding Showers, prominent men of Greene county, were largely instrumental in bringing about the con- struction of the road. It is readily to be seen that this road is one of the most important in the state at least branching from the great artery of travel north and south, linking up the West Shore, N. Y. Central, Day Line, Evening Line as well as the New York state roads on both sides of the Hudson. HAUNTS OF RIP VAN WINKLE FROM CITY'S DIN TO MOUNTAIN'S CHARMS The seething city's deafening noise Grows dim and then no more. The moving palace glides away — A new world lies before. Out of the man-made pit of haste, Into a world that God made fair,- Rich in a splendor of glory it lies, With beauty in riot everywhere, Along a river brimful of sunbeams With hills of green piled high around, Where Echo is lull of quips and pranks And tattles every sound, Wheie the valley, like a mother, Clasps the Hudson to its breast. While it gazes up with longing To the Catskill's noble crest. Deep in the side of a mountain A brown road climbs around By a luring pass thru a wonder world To a Paradise, — lost and found. And all is sweet in the mountain gorge. For God meant it so to be. Perfecting Kis handiwork, He laid it there For all His children to see. Then the brown load bends as a brown road will, And the whole wide world is seen From Horse shoe Curve at the great Cross Cloves With their gaping gorge between, The mountain gained, — here Indian Head Looks sternly fiom its height. And Sugar Loaf and the Mountain Twins Defend the valley's right. High Peak and Elka looking up, See Round Top. cloud capped in the sky, While Onteora,— Hill of God, Stands modestly and quietly by. And the calm and the peace and the quiet Have a charm that bewitches alway A charm for the soul and a charm for the mil d And a charm that will lure you to stay. Tanntrsville, N V.

The Clove is 8 miles from Catskill on a direct road which is always in good shape, though not a state road. The Clove extends for four miles, commencing at Palenville and following a rushing mountain stream through one of the most picturesque glens in the world. It is an 8 per cent grade road to the very mountain top at Haines Falls. This is on the shortest and cirect rcute to the heart of the Catskill mountains, and good state roads are to be found not only from New York or Albany but all through the mountain section. Near the Mountain Top The route to the top of the mountains for years commencing in 1823 was by a road built by the Catskill Mountain House Company, and a road at Palen- ville through the clove. Both these roads were very steep and dangerous to travel though thousands traveled over them taking from four to five hours to reach the Mountain House or Haines Falls. In order better to accommodate the throngs the Catskill Mountain railroad and Otis Elevating railroad were S>uilt at a cost of $750,000. HEART OF THE CATSKILLS Scene on the New Clove Road.

Here nature lends a charm, which only those who visit the section can fully appreciate The pioneers forsaw it all and made possible their fondest dream when in 1823 a road was built to the summit of North Mountain and theCatskill Mt. House erected. The old four horse stage, a wonderful contrivance of its day, conveyed the tourist from Catskill to the mountain house, and great men like LaFayette, Burr and Alexander Hamilton were among those who visited the section. Some of these men went from there to the old Prevost house which we show in another part of this book. The erection of the mountain house has been followed by hundreds of other hostelries and the section has become the health and pleasure summer resort of millions since. There are great hotels like the Laurel House, also a pioneer, Kaaterskill, Antlers, Overlook, Twilight Inn, etc. o <1 W co *— i CO CO o < Ph LAND OF THE ONTEORAS WHERE FAR-FAMED HOSTELRY APPEARS— The Aged Sentinel of a Hundred Years.
