**Catskill Culture: A Mountain Rat's Memories of the Great Jewish Resort Area | Jewish-American History & Catskills Travel | Perfect for History Buffs & Travel Enthusiasts**

I grew up in the same area discussed by the author and worked in many of the hotels he writes about. It's an excellent read which very captures the essence and history of the area. Brown is that rare blend of an academic with a broad society overview while also having lived the history he writes about. This is an A+ discussion of the unique Catskill culture.
