Longstreth's ramble was an intimate journey, a four-hundred-mile hike for "fun and fish and freedom" filled with chance encounters and colorful characters, a "walkabout" through the natural wonders of the high peaks and rugged cloves, providing rare, early-1900s impressions of the villages along the way: places like Woodstock, Windham, Hunter, Stamford, Grand Gorge, Roxbury, Palenville, and Phoenicia.
