Book synopsis

Since its earliest days as a Dutch colony, Hurley, New York, has undergone many transformations: it was fought over by the Lenape tribe, commandeered by British settlers and buffeted between Revolutionaries and Loyalists as a strategic stronghold in the Revolutionary War. Local historian Deana F. Decker explores this Hudson Valley town's history with a comprehensive assessment of its notable residents, such as Sojourner Truth, as well as its historical buildings, such as the Bevier House and Hurley Mountain Inn. From its roots as the dangerous Esopus frontier region to its industrial metamorphosis through bluestone harvesting and the Ashokan Reservoir, "Hurley, New York" chronicles the remarkable story of this upstate town.
