Excerpt from The Catskill Mountains and the Region Around: Their Scenery, Legends, and History; With Sketches in Prose and Verse, by Cooper, Irving, Bryant, Cole, and Others Early in the year 1860, the writer, or more properly, perhaps, the compiler of this work, was led, by professional duty, and the healthful climate of the mountains, to make his home in a place of peculiar and romantic beauty, on one of the lower cliffs of the Catskill range, directly in front of the high projection on which the Mountain House stands. Parochial visits, funerals, weddings, and excursions with friends from abroad, led to peculiar familiarity with scenes, objects and events of interest, in and near the mountains, as also with historical and traditionary matter, of permanent value, and importance. Events of early Indian and pioneer history were also met with, connected with war, captivity, and patriotic martyrdom, recorded only in early newspapers, manuscripts and pamphlets, rare, difficult to be found, and so worn and torn by long and frequent reading, as to have well-nigh passed away.

Excerpt from The Scenery of the Catskill Mountains I have travelled the woods for fifty-three years, said leather-stocking, and have made them my home for more than forty, and I can say that I have met but one place that was more to my liking; and that was only to eye sight, and not for hunting or fishing.
