PRESERVING THE HISTORY AND HERITAGE OF THE ROE JAN COMMUNITY
Copake Cowpaths is a vivid family memoir by David Dunning and his five brothers, recalling their 1950s boyhood on a Copake, New York dairy farm—a world shaped by hard work, strong family bonds, and enduring rural values. Through lively scenes of farm chores, childhood adventures, and the guidance of devoted parents, the book captures both the rhythms of daily life and the lessons that defined a generation. Interwoven with stories of the family’s roots and the growth of their family business, the narrative also preserves a rich portrait of mid-century Copake—its farms, stores, landmarks, and community life—offering a heartfelt and historically valuable glimpse into a small-town world now largely vanished but fondly remembered.
