Beneath the depths of Kensico Reservoir, which provides drinking water to Westchester County, NY, and New York City, are the remains of a forgotten village.Proceed with caution. This collection of true stories about a once small farming community in Westchester County, NY, contains possibly disturbing and shocking information. While this easy-to-read nonfiction book is crammed with local offbeat history, it also contains tragic tales of treason, cruel crimes, disturbing deaths, eerie events, shocking scandals, bloody war battles, and Westchester’s oldest unsolved murder. The journey explores this nightmarish neighborhood’s history, from its first inhabitants, the Siwanoys, in the 1600s through Kensico, NY’s final days in the early 20th century. Along the way, some of the biggest names in American history are thrown into the mix, including Major John Andre and General George Washington, plus numerous former Westchester residents who lived and died in the forgotten farming village.  If you’re easily frightened, you may want to stop now. Otherwise, be prepared to discover what lies under the reservoir that provides drinking water to Westchester County and New York City: the horrific hidden history of the lost village of Kensico.
