Field Notes
1921 -- a group of six faculty families at Vassar or Yale bought the old Yelping Hill Farm in North Cornwall and established a summer literary community called Yelping Hill. The moving spirit in starting the literary colony was Henry Seidel Canby (founder of the Saturday Review and the Book-of-the-Month Club). 1922 -- George Crosby, master carpenter, built the houses and cottages for the Yelping Hill Association ( http://www.nynjctbotany.org/lgtofc/cornwallhistory.html ).
