Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1882 edition. Excerpt: ... FAMILY SKETCHES. The following sketches of Woodstock families, mainly genealogical, though not as complete as was desired, have involved no small amount of care and trouble in their collection. No pains have been spared to have them correct, but "approximately correct" is all that can ever be expected of matter embracing so many dates and derived from so many different sources. Those who have had experience in this branch of history will fully understand all this. We only hope that our errors may not be found more numerous than are usually found in similar sketches. These are not intended as family records; the scope of the work would not admit of our so extending them as to embrace dates of birth, &c., of all Woodstock families. We have generally felt obliged to confine the records to two or three generations from the first settlers, and personal sketches have necessarily been vSry brief. These sketches do not embrace all the settlers in Woodstock, but they do represent the chief families of the town since its settlement. Abbott. Philip Abbott, son of Philip, of Rumford, and Experience Howe, his wife, born December 11,1800, was here in 1853, and kept a bowling alley near the shore of Bryant's Pond. His first wife was widow Lucinda White, and he had Lucy T., married Barnard Marble, of Mexico, Trancilia, Achsa A., Joseph W., Chandler P., Susan and Gurtine M. These were all born before he came here, and Chandler P. was the only one of the sons who ever lived in this town. Philip Abbott, for second wife, married a Davis, and had other children. Notwithstanding his age, he enlisted in the army and served with credit in the 5th Maine Regiment. After the war, he moved to Mexico. William Abbott was taxed here in 1830, Andrew in 1864, and...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Woodstock, Me: With Family Sketches and an Appendix The history of the town of Woodstock presents no startling incidents, and few if any circumstances not common to other of the late-settled, interior towns of the State. It was settled long after the last hostile demonstration by the Indians was made in Maine, and therefore can contain no thrilling incidents common to Indian warfare in frontier life. The natural facilities for manufacturing were very limited, and from its settlement the inhabitants have mainly been engaged in pastoral pursuits. The history of such a town, except to the people who inhabit it, cannot be especially entertaining, and is valuable in a general sense only as its statistics aid in making up a complete history of the State. But to the inhabitants of Woodstock, and especially to those born there or descended from the pioneers, an account of its first settlement and its gradual development from an unbroken wilderness, through its plantation life, to a prosperous municipality, filled by an industrious, thrifty and intelligent people, should possess some degree of interest. It is eighty-four years since the first clearing was made with a view to settling upon the lands within the limits of that town, and it will be eighty-four years in November next, since the first two families moved in. It is sixty-seven years since Plantation Number Three was incorporated and became a town, and all those who participated in organizing the new municipality have passed away. The last was Gideon Swan, who was born in 1784, and was a lad of seventeen or eighteen years when his people came here. He died in 1877. Next to the last was Jacob Whitman, who was one of the first five families; he died in 1873. But few of the children of the early settlers now survive, and the number grows less year by year. Those who survive are old, and in the course of nature must soon pass away. When one of them goes, the sources of information concerning the early settlement of the town are diminished, and it will not be long before the last link that connects the present with that early period will be broken. It was this fact that induced me to undertake the task of collecting and recording, before they had all gone, some of the incidents connected with the first settlement, plantation period and early municipal life of the town of Woodstock.

Book excerpt: Few small towns in America have as colorful a history as that of Woodstock in Ulster County, New York. Set in a countryside of exceptional natural beauty, Woodstock from the first embodied the most enduring characteristics of the Catskills and the Hudson Valley. From the early days of Indians, trappers, farmers, and land barons, to the present day of rock musicians, craftspeople, and refugees from the urban scene, Alf Evers's extraordinary history tells the tale of a very special American place.Long before the Woodstock Festival put the name of Woodstock Village on the map and drew young people from all over the world, Woodstock had an earlier incarnation in which free-thinking ideas held sway. In 1902, inspired by the social philosophy of John Ruskin and William Morris, three men--Hervey White, Ralph Whitehead, and Bolton Coit Brown-- brought their Utopian vision to the Catskills, looking for a place to settle. With a number of requirements in mind, they came upon this small hamlet set in the mountains on a tract of land given to Robert Livingston. They decided unanimously that it was here that "man's mightiest creative energies might be released," and they would feel free to pursue their talents while living in a self-sufficient community. The "earthly paradise" they discovered was, of course, the cheerful, industrious, and well-kept town of Woodstock, and in it they built their historic new society.From the 1920s on, the town was known as a familiar art and cultural center, with two competing communities--Byrdcliffe and Maverick--working to develop a style of life that would integrate arts and crafts with advanced social ideas. Following these early American bohemians came the Yippies and Beat artists of the Fifties and the "Woodstock Generation" of the Sixties. The conflict between the more traditional town, the conservative agricultural community, and the exiles from Greenwich Village, the artisans of the craft colony, waxed and waned with each new generation, each side vigorously defending a way of life and inevitably benefitting from the continuing existence of the other.Woodstock: History of an American Town is the result of fifteen years of research by the distinguished local historian Alf Evers. His previous work, The Catskills, prepared the groundwork for the present and more detailed study of a village which became one of the most famous towns in America. It is, in many ways, the story of the birth, growth, and coming of age of the American way in its evocation of the early pioneer values of individualism and self-sufficiency with those of the community and commonweal. It is a captivating tale.
