Just finished reading A TREASURY OF AMERICAN ANECDOTES--SLY, SALTY, SHAGGY STORIES...of heroes and hellions, beguilers and buffoons, spellbinders and scapegoats, gagsters and gossips, from the grassroots and sidewalks of America edited BY CROTON'S BENJAMIN BOTKIN

It is so worth your time and available on Amazon.

For those who don't know, Botkin was one of the village's most notable residents.  In case you missed this great previously referenced post: Croton's Ben Botkin

It's called GROWING UP IN FOLKLORE, A Conversation with Dorothy Rosenthal and Daniel Botkin; read all about it HERE

As many of you know, actress LENORE ULRIC was one of Croton's most notable residents. You can read more about that here.

Came across this fab review of ULRIC IN TIGER ROSE FROM MOVIES SILENTLY......Stage star Lenore Ulric brings her signature role to the screen in this melodrama set in Canada. We have Mounties, trees and bloody revenge. The usual Hollywood Canadian wilderness picture, in other words, but we have the added bonus of a super Mountie and a location shoot in Yosemite.
