This book is a well written and detailed historical account of Yaddo, the famous artist's, writer's and musician's colony located on 400 acres in Saratoga Springs in the State of New York. The story chronicles Yaddo's beginnings from 1787, when Jacobus Barhyte (1754-1840) was deeded the acreage for his courage as a soldier at the 1777 "Battle of Saratoga", by General Horatio Gates, a Revolutionary War general. Spencer and Katrina Trask, early investors in the Thomas Edison Company, purchased the property in 1879, and built a large mansion where they received cultured guests for many decades. After Spencer's death in 1909, and Katrina's passing in 1922, the property became a writer / artist colony through a Trust in 1924. Today, Yaddo remains as an artists' community located on the same 400-acre estate grounds in Saratoga Springs, New York. Its mission is "to nurture the creative process by providing an opportunity for artists to work without interruption in a supportive environment." A clean very presentable copy.
