Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
This collection compiled by the staff of the Vedder Research Library comprises an assortment of materials related to the history and operation of the Catskill Mountain House. The majority of the materials in this collection are from two separate donations, the first being a selection of thirteen registers of the Catskill Mountain House and miscellaneous material donated to the Greene County Historical Society by the estate of Milo Claude Moseman in 1963. The second batch of materials is an array of legal papers and correspondence of the law firm of Osborn, Bloodgood, Wilbur and Fray, which was the firm that represented the heirs of Charles L. Beach in their various personal and business ventures from circa 1910 through the 1930s. Most of the services rendered by this firm seem to have been provided by Frank Osborn, who was well acquainted with the family and their various interests. Interspersed with these papers are correspondence, news clippings, ephemera, and miscellaneous images donated by various individuals, including some material given by Roland Van Zandt prior to his death which was not subsequently included within his own collection of papers.
Of particular note are materials related to the management of the natural resources at Pine Orchard, North Lake, and South Lake by the heirs of Charles L. Beach following his death in 1902. Also of note is a selection of material related to the creation of the scale model of the Catskill Mountain House by Egbert Saxe of Kiskatom.
