Boot Jack Rock is located south of the former Catskill Mountain House. Boot Jack Rock and a rock located nearby to Boot Jack have pre-Civil War engravings.
Notable occurrences in American History with the dates engraved by these visitors:
1850- Compromise of 1850
1857- Dred Scott v. Sanford
1858- Lincoln-Douglas Debates
1859- John Brown’s raid at Harper’s Ferry





You should’ve gone with the picture of Senior and Junior at Bootjack (taken by a helpful stranger)…
Great site! I spent a lot of years with my brother and our sons wandering the Gettysburg battlefield looking for out of the way monuments, etc. (see http://www.lhup.edu/rmyers3/monuments/monuments.htm ) so seeing you and your father taking such enjoyment over tracking this stuff down was great.
The book I was talking about was David Stradling, Making Mountains: New York City and the Catskills (2007).
