@nathaniel_brooks_photo captured Mary Grant, 12, preparing to swing into a river at the Blackthorne Resort in East Durham, New York. Throughout his childhood, the writer Michael Malone went there every summer with his family. Set in a part of the Catskills known as the Irish Alps, East Durham is about 130 miles north of Manhattan. There were once as many as 50 Irish-themed inns in the area, along with several bungalow communities sporting shamrocks on their shingles. Immigrants in the Bronx and Brooklyn, fleeing stifling tenements, flocked north to this part of the Catskills for the clean air, traditional music, dance and camaraderie. But today no more than a half-dozen Irish resorts remain. The three A’s — air-conditioning, airlines, assimilation — are said to have been the downfall of the resort communities. After a mid-’60s heyday, many immigrants moved out of the tenements, plane travel was no longer limited to the rich and the Irish became, well, American.
