About the author
Michael Adamovic is the author of two Schiffer Publishing titles on the folklore and reputed hauntings of New York's Hudson Valley. Hudson Valley History and Mystery (2020) surveys the region's sites of mysterious and paranormal reputation, from stone structures and petroglyphs to battlefields, describing the Hudson Valley as what Washington Irving once called "the spellbound region." Hudson Valley History & Mystery, Volume 2 (2023) continues the survey with further tales of battles, notable figures, and unexplained happenings, and both books include practical "Getting There" directions and coordinates for visiting each site. The books are written for a general readership interested in regional history and legend, combining local history with folklore rather than analysis, and are organized as location-by-location guides rather than continuous narratives.
