SUMMARY:Exploring Ancient Phoenicia Part 3 - Protecting These Sacred Mountains
DESCRIPTION:In this third in a series of multimedia lectures Evan Pritchard will share some of his research regarding the high sacred places of Phoenicia and the surrounding Catskills\, especially regarding mountains located within Shandaken township. He will discuss Algonquin metaphysical beliefs surrounding mountains and the spiritual role they play\, as sacred sites and vision quest retreats. He will go into detail regarding what are called “cairns” (a Celtic term) or “Manitouassin” sacred stone piles (petroforms) and their mysterious alignments\, as well as the famous Montauk-Hammonassett Solstice Line which passes through the so-called “Devil’s Tombstone.” \nHe will again explore local lore and linguistics\, and the lore surrounding Panther Mountain and the seven sacred springs which are the source of seven rivers of great importance to the Esopus Munsee of our region including their portages. He will also revisit local trade routes to discuss not only where they lead but what items travelers might have been trading. As before he will integrate his latest research with earlier studies by noted scholars such as Alf Evers\, Michael Kudish and Glenn Kreisberg\, and files from The Shandaken and Time and the Valleys Museums\, offering a smorgasbord of surprises no one will want to miss. \nZoom link –

SUMMARY:Esopus Dreams: How New York City Reshaped the Catskills
DESCRIPTION:Join author Diane Galusha for an illustrated presentation of why and how New York City turned to the Catskills for water after it tapped most of the rivers and streams in Westchester and Putnam Counties in the last half of the 19th century. Between 1905 and 1915\, surveyors\, engineers and contractors captured this free flowing stream behind a dam at Olivebridge\, and then sent it down a 92-mile- long concrete tube to deliver water to the nation’s biggest city. Galusha\, author of Liquid Assets: A History of New York City’s Water System\, will recount the amazing tale of the building of the Ashokan Reservoir\, a story of triumphant engineering and the tragic displacement of more than 2\,000 people who lived in a dozen communities along the Esopus that were sacrificed or relocated for the Ashokan project. Copies of Liquid Assets\, now with a 50-page update\, will be available for purchase.
