^ ^OF^D ^ITH YOU, 
 
 To all who are seeking a summer home where perfect healthfulness is 
 combined with all that attracts and pleases in natural surroundings, this 
 little pamphlet is offered with the greatest confidence that they will find 
 somewhere in its pages the mention of just such a place as they are desirous 
 of securing. Nowhere within the same distance of New York is there a 
 region so varied in physical characteristics ; so well-calculated to afford a 
 summering place suited to the widely different tastes and wants of the great 
 army of city people who annually flock to the country, as the territory 
 through which the Erie Railway passes for the first hundred miles or so of 
 its route, and into which its branches enter in all directions. The quiet 
 pleasures of farm life ; the rugged beauty of mountain resorts ; the retreats 
 by hill-environed lakes, streams in picturesque valleys, and amid the rush 
 and roar of cataracts ; the wilds and haunts of the sportsman with his rod 
 or gun— these are all at the command of the summer sojourner whose 
 good fortune leads him to choose from the unrivaled "Erie territory." 
 The farthest of these "homes of health" is but 160 miles from New York, 
 a distance that is but short when overcome by the fast Erie trains that hurry 
 the fugitive from city heat and turmoil to pleasant asylums in an enchanted 
 summer land. 
 
 An important feature of the mountain retreats reached only by the Erie 
 Railway is the absence of those pests and plagues, mosquitos and malaria. 
 It has been also demonstrated conclusively that sufferers from pulmonary 
 and bronchial affections are greatly benefited even by brief sojourns at these 
 resorts, especially in the Ramapo Valley, among the Highlands of the Hud- 
 son, the mountains of Ulster, Sullivan and Pike counties, and along the 
 Delaware Valley. 
 
 The purpose of this pamphlet is to give to those who are looking for 
 
 3 
 
attractive localities in which to spend the summer all information that they 
 will be likely to need in making such selection. The information is given 
 in concise form, and every care has been taken to have it reliable and com- 
 plete. It has been the intention of this Company to place in the book the 
 names only of such boarding-house and hotel keepers as could be recom- 
 mended to the most particular person, and every inquiry in the regions 
 where they are located has been made to that end. 
 
 Trie Company requests, as a special favor, that any person 
 who may select a boarding-place from this directory, and 
 does not find it as it is represented, will notify the General 
 Passenger Agent to that effect, in order that the house may 
 not receive the indorsement of ihe publication another year. 
 
 A second edition of "Summer Home and Rambles," with 
 additional names of boarding houses and hotels, will be pub- 
 lished early in May.

 river this creek flows through a wild and narrow gorge, and seeks the level 
 of the river by a series of waterfalls. Numerous lakes on both sides of river,

 Aside from the delightful scenery of the Highlands, it is a fact which the 
 experience of years has demonstrated that the air which circulates among 
 these hills and valleys is possessed of curative properties that render the 
 existence of pulmonary or bronchial difficulties next to an impossibility from 
 the Schunemunk range to the Cornwall hills. It is stated that there is a 
 well defined line which marks the boundary of this rare mountain atmos- 
 phere, and that the area of its presence is within the mountain . elevations 
 just mentioned. There are innumerable instances of invalids being restored 
 to robust health by a few seasons spent in the Highlands, prominent among 
 them being the late N. P. Willis, the poet, who visited Cornwall a con- 
 firmed consumptive, spent one season among the mountains, and was so 
 much benefited that he became a resident, and was restored to health. The 
 value of this region as a sanitarium is now recognized by leading physicians, 
 and many patients suffering with lung or throat diseases are annually recom- 
 mended by them to seek some one of the favorite resorts among the High- 
 lands, on the line of the Erie Railway.
