  • Myths and Legends of Our Own Land — Complete
    Myths and Legends of Our Own Land — Complete By Charles M. Skinner Myths and Legends of Our Own Land THE HUDSON AND ITS HILLS RIP VAN WINKLE The story of Rip Van Winkle, told by Irving, dramatized by Boucicault, acted by Jefferson, pictured by Darley, set to music by Bristow, is the best known of American legends. Rip was a real personage, and the Van Winkles are a considerable family at this day. An idle, good-natured, happy-go-lucky fellow, he lived, presumably, in the village of Catskill, and began his long sleep in 1769. His wife was a shrew, and to escape her abuse Rip often took his dog and gun and roamed away to the Catskills, nine miles westward, where he lounged or hunted, as the humor seized him. It was on a September evening, during a jaunt on South Mountain, that he met a stubby, silent man, of goodly girth, his round head topped with a steeple hat, the skirts of his belted coat and flaps of his petticoat trousers meeting at the tops of heavy boots, and the face—ugh!—green and ghastly, with unmoving eyes that glimmered in the twilight like phosphorus. The dwarf carried a keg, and on receiving an intimation, in a sign, that he would like Rip to relieve him of it, that cheerful vagabond shouldered it and marched on up the mountain. At nightfall they emerged on a little plateau where a score of men in the garb of long ago, with faces like that of Rip's guide, and equally still and speechless, were playing bowls with great solemnity, the balls sometimes rolling over the plateau's edge and rumbling down the rocks with a boom like thunder.

In a world with no internet and thus no social media, helping hikers connect with each other was a valued and needed service. Because if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my decade or so of involvement with this club, it’s that the only thing hikers enjoy more than hiking is talking about hiking! Sharing war stories, trading bushwhack routes, and waxing euphoric about views… hikers, it would seem to me, love the replay with the like-minded as much as they love the adventure itself. But things have changed, and now that camaraderie is available in spades via social media. Leave No Trace is a national not-for-profit environmental organization on the frontlines of dealing with the good, the bad, and the ugly of managing the immense current upsurge in popularity of hiking and outdoor recreation.
