Hervey White was an American novelist poet and community-builder who was one of the original founders of the Byrdcliffe Colony in Woodstock New York and the radical artists' colony the Maverick known together as the Woodstock Art Colony. In 1915 White planned the first of the Maverick Festivals which included music and theatrical performances and which would inevitably become an annual celebration of wildness and unity until 1931. In popular press and local culture his long hair beard baggy white linens and purple silks are celebrated as the hallmarks of Woodstock's cultural identity. Small, Maynard & Company hardcover
