The word wingstar is not on the photos. Happy to answer any questions and combine shipping. Please see my other vintage historical photographs. online info - Cooper's Cave was named after James Fenimore Cooper, who made it world famous. In his novel Last of the Mohicans, he tells about the Munro sisters, who are on the run from murderous Hurons. They find shelter in a cave for a night, which is located on a small limestone island in the Hudson River. Obviously the story is fictional, but the description of the cave is based on a real location. Cooper travelled in the area and visited Glens Falls. He was accompanied by the future Lord Derby, who told him that this was the very scene for a romance. So Cooper got the idea to use the location at the river in his book. For more than a century this place became a visiting place for European and American travelers. ... A new bridge, built after the great flood in 1913 which damaged the old bridge, crossed the Hudson high above the island. Access to the island with the cave was provided by a spiral staircase going down from the sidewalk of the bridge. This staircase was removed in 1961, and since then the cave was not acessible any more.PC
