    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).
