The Catskills, Sunrise from South Mountain, 1874. Creator: Samuel Valentine Hunt

The Catskills, Sunrise from South Mountain, 1874. The Catskill Mountains, part of the larger Appalachian Mountain range, in southeastern New York State, USA. Clustering closely together, these isolated mountains, to which the early Dutch settlers gave the name of "Catskills", approach within eight miles of the river, and, like an advanced bastion of the great rocky wall, command the valley for a considerable distance, and one of the most striking features in the landscape. On the western side, they slope gradually toward the central part of the State of New York, running off into spurs and ridges in every direction. On the eastern, however, they rise abruptly from the valley to a height of more than four thousand feet, resembling, when looked at from the river, a gigantic fist with the palm downward, the peaks representing the knuckles, and the glens and cloves the spaces between them'. From "Picturesque America; or, The Land We Live In, A Delineation by Pen and Pencil of the Mountains, Rivers, Lakes...with Illustrations on Steel and Wood by Eminent American Artists" Vol. II, edited by William Cullen Bryant.
