Book tells history of Shandelee

SHANDELEE, NY — A new book by Philip F. Rose, “Shandelee,” chronicles the history of the area and its settlers beginning from the British settlements back in the 1600s up to the present day.

The book features many photos, dating from as far back as the 1800s, and numerous notes on the locations of various establishments and other markers.

Rose was born in New York City in 1928. His family moved to the Catskills where his father ran a bar and grill called the “Two Vets.”
