George W. Holdridge a Catskill icon from humble beginnings.
At the age of 13 George was considered old enough to work. He left home
and went to work for the A & B Wiltse Co., a foundry and machine
shop in Catskill. George struggled as a boy in the foundry, doing work
that was hard work for a full grown man. At 17 he joined the Navy, and
served in the Civil War. Read his autobiographical sketch "Reminiscences
of George W. Holdridge" and share in the personal history of his
life, his struggles as a young boy, his experiences in the Navy, and
