- W1490543032 abstract "Review: Making Mountains: New York City and the Catskills By David Stradling Reviewed by Peter C. Little Oregon State University, USA Stradling, David. Making Mountains: New York City and the Catskills. Seattle, WA: University of Washington Press, 2007. 311pp. ISBN: 978-0-295-98747-7. US$35.00, hardback.

With family roots in the Catskill region and a keen knowledge of the environmental and cultural history of this rural territory of New York, Stradling cleverly connects his interest in his own family history with his commitment to constructing a responsible historical account of the Catskills economy and landscape vis-a-vis the natural and cultural demands of New York City. Making Mountains contains chapters dedicated to a variety of forces marking the Catskill landscape, including natural resources, industry, art, adventure, and tourism. Neither is entirely autonomous and it is their combined influence that seems to be critical to this piece of scholarship.
