Historical Society of Woodstock Offers Zoom Presentation on the Life of Historian Alf Evers On Thursday, February 18 at 7:00 p.m., the Historical Society of Woodstock will present an interview with noted author, poet and composer Ed Sanders to discuss his recently completed biography on the life and work of noted historian Alf Evers. Evers, whose major works included: The Catskills: From Wilderness to Woodstock, Woodstock: History of an American Town and Kingston: City on the...
