Tourists in the Shawangunk region are unanimous in pronouncing it one of the most beautiful spots east of the Mississippi, and in some respects unique on this continent. Mokonk and Minnewaska need no eulogy from any pen, Sam’s Point tells its own story, while the entire Rondout Valley has a charm of its own.

The house of Benny De Puy is still standing and the “very spring from which old Ninety-Nine drank on his way to and from his cave” yet gushes out not far from the door. The photographs of Sam’s Point and Margaret are by V. T. Wright. That of Reuben and others used are by A. V. Turner. The author feels indebted to “The Four Track News and Travel Magazine” for courteous permission to reprint parts of two articles by herself that were published by them.
