Bounded by three rivers and a mountain range, the town of Deerpark lies in the southwestern corner of Orange County. Once the frontier of America, the area took its name from what early settlers called their neighbor's fenced tract: McDaniel's Deer Park. The town has seven hamlets-Cahoonzie, Cuddebackville, Godeffroy, Huguenot, Rio, Sparrowbush, and Westbrookville-shaped and identified by their geography.
Deerpark highlights a community that has what is believed to be the oldest one-hundred-mile road in the country, the Old Mine Road. Appearing in this pictorial history are the Delaware and Hudson Canal, which transformed the town, and the railroad, which spawned a thriving resort industry. Also shown are filmmaker D.W. Griffith, who between 1909 and 1911 made silent movies using the mountains and rivers as a backdrop, and many ancestors of present-day residents.

Deerpark, New York (Images of America Series)
An engaging book of one page profiles and great photos of interesting Southern Californians over the years. Some of my favorites, Huell Howser, Gene Autry, Ray Bradbury, Walt Disney, Howard Hughes, Dorothy Chandler, Aimee Semple McPherson, Billy Wilder and Helen Hunt Jackson (of Ramona fame). This was timely, since just two weeks ago, I saw the outdoor play "Ramona" out in Hemet for the first time.
I found this book on a feature table at my library. (I think the table was about creative, accomplished people.) I have to say, I really admire my librarians (yes, we have that kind of relationship). They really love their craft and I appreciate their efforts to try to engage readers. If I didn't have a career I enjoy so much, I imagine myself as a librarian with a bun at the nape of my neck, a pencil behind one ear, and my reading glasses on a beaded chain.
