The Fenwick Lumber Company in the Northern Catskills: Edgewood - Almost Forgotten: 1906-1917 Paperback – July 31, 2023

Hidden in the hills and valleys of the Catskills are remains of many a long abandoned industry: The Fenwick Lumber Company logging operation on Southwest Hunter mountain in the Town of Hunter. Ferreting out the history of this long gone industry has for some been a consuming interest. Some say that something important had happened there in the old days, something worth telling about – worth remembering.The Fenwick Lumber Company was not only a great industry which changed the face of the land – it was a momentous event that signaled revolutionary changes in the lives of a generation of Greene County New York residents. As of 2023, it's been over 100 years since the end of operations of the Fenwick Lumber Company. Nothing remains of the operation except random artifacts found by those who know where to look – mostly within the New York State Forest Preserve.It is a history that was almost forgotten, except for the interest of a handful of people who kept the memory of what once happened high on Southwest Hunter Mountain, alive. - Karl Van Valkenburgh, Fenwick, Worth Remembering (1981).
