I'm researching my Grandfather Francis A. Glass MD that lived in the house opposite the Elks Club in the early 40's- I think 52 Front Street. He was a doctor there in Haverstraw and I'm looking into the people he knew as a way of seeing who he was. Francis Glass's wife Dorothy was a patron of the arts.

It's a great subject & I wish you well. You should try to add some oral histories of Haverstraw Old Timers & something from the Village historian whose name I believe is Casey (Tom?). Haverstraw history is amazing, varied & interesting. Jared: Glad to know about your new blog/website featuring Haverstraw. It’s a great subject & I wish you well.

One is mentioned by Maxwell Anderson in his play about the lost crew of Henry Hudson on the ship, "Onrust". Another legend is that when a bad storm is approaching and thunder is heard, the thunder is the sound of the Dutch spirits playing ten-pin (bowling). I'm sure there are many other legends associated with the peak. It was used as a Native American beacon before the settlers came. During the Revolution it was used as an American army beacon and as a post to view British ships coming up from British-held New York City.

Many years ago I drank a lot of High Tor wine and am writing about the winery and the mountain. it seems to me I heard that there were legends etc. associated with the mountain, but I can't track any of that down. Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Herb McGrew / Napa CA I’m interested in the “mythology” of High Tor.
