This monograph, originally published in the March 1985 edition of the Hudson Valley Regional Review (Now Marist College’s Hudson River Valley Review), is offered as a standalone paperback courtesy of the author and Hope Farm Press. Richard Wiles’ relation of the history of Windham is given as being representative of the broad history of the region and the Catskills broadly - a fair assessment defended and contextualized well within the twenty pages Wiles devotes to the topic.
