4.9/5 (16474 ratings)

Description:Just a Tot in The Recollections of a Railroad Avenue Boy on the Busy Summer Life of the 1950s, incorporating A Micro-History of the Tannersville Four-Corners, is a combination personal memoir and local history of the brief post-WWII Armenian resort boom in a small town in New York's northern Catskill Mountains. The author's New England Yankee grandparents ran a limousine service and small lodging house sandwiched between two well-worn Victorian-era hotels. In the early 1950s, these hotels served an Armenian clientele, and author's copiously-illustrated recollections tell of the summers surrounded by the exotic aromas of Armenian cuisine through the days, and the quavering semi-tones of belly dance music far into the nights. As an adult working professionally in the history and museum field, the author revisited the old resort town, and explored its fascinating development as a destination for New Yorkers seeking renewal in the mountains. The large-format comb-bound book includes 254 photos and illustrations, 16 maps, endnotes, bibliography, appendices, and index, ... and a rumination on the foggy, dangerous intersection of rigorous professional history and rosy personal memoir.
