Book Synopsis When Cauliflower was King by : Diane Galusha
Book excerpt: THE WESTERN CATSKILL MOUNTAINS offered ideal growing conditions for cauliflower, and cultivating, harvesting, crating and shipping this important cash crop became a huge enterprise. In 1936, farms around Margaretville alone shipped 173,757 crates. Diane Galusha (author of Liquid Assets: A History of New York City's Water System) chronicles the rise and fall of the crop and its impact on farm lives and the regional economy.
