Review :
"What is perhaps most rewarding about Rip Van Winkle's Neighbors is the way that it evokes the everyday life of time and place for the reader, and recognizes at every turn the ways in which the economic, social, political, and cultural are intertwined." - New York History "Thomas Wermuth presents a fine instance of the importance of studying large questions in small places. Though I have worked many of the same sources I learned a great deal worth knowing from this book. " - Edward Countryman, author of The American Revolution "Wermuth's analysis of economic and social relations in the Hudson Valley is excellent." - George Rappaport, Wagner College
