Purchase options and add-ons

This collection of interviews with local residents offers a glimpse of life from pre-World War II through the 1980s in a small Hudson River Valley hamlet, located between Rhinebeck and Hyde Park, New York.

The narrators recall what is was like to work on the Great Estates, play all summer in and on the river, get through the Depression, encounter Roosevelts, and live in a once bustling village in simpler times.

Each of the narrators interviewed has passed away; but in the stories they left us, each in their own voice, we see how this community, like so many others, is truly a family. From those heartfelt memories, we learn that just as families thrive and struggle together, so did the hamlet of Staatsburg.

A very thoughtful and well researched book. More than just a collection of stories about a magic little hamlet, it’s also a sincere and heart-felt “thank you” letter to the generations that lived and loved in Staatsburg in times past.

The Mid-Hudson Valley is special, and as places like Rhinebeck become destinations, a book like this helps us remember that villages such as Staatsburg are more than just a weekend away from the city – they’re home.

It’s obvious that the book’s subject matter is close to the author’s heart – I encourage you to read and enjoy this book.

Very enjoyable, both informative and lovely to read. Carefully researched and edited to create the feeling of a gentler time, real memories of small town life amongst the mansions on the Hudson.
