The Way It Was: Palisades From 1900 to 2000
In Alice Gerard’s new book, Palisades and Snedens Landing: The Twentieth Century, we are given a view of life in our small community over the past one hundred years. Using written memoirs, many present day interviews, and newspaper articles from the time, Alice gives us—decade by decade—the story of people, places, and events which have shaped Palisades’ past. Over 300 remarkable photographs illustrate the story, and Alice—wearing her historian’s hat and seeing with a ‘tender’ eye—has written a series of overviews describing life in Palisades, helping to recreate “how it was then.”
Palisades and Snedens Landing: The Twentieth Century, 333 pages, $40 (including tax). For a copy call Alice Gerard at 845-359-4338, email her at gerard55@verizon.net or write her at PO Box 225, Palisades, NY 10964.
