Dear Hippie We Met at Woodstock Daniel Carlson

Dan Carlson was one of the few police officers assigned to the Woodstock Music and Art Festival held August 15-17, 1969, at Bethel, New York. In this book, he relates how those hectic but exhilarating three days appeared through the eyes of a cop. This book answers a number of questions about the crowding and traffic, the cooperation of the concert-goers, and the very enforcement of laws during the event. The author also touches upon the personal and professional ways in which he was affected by his having been part of that crowded, muddy and exhausting weekend in 1969. In this 2nd Edition, Dan adds additional texture to this iconic event, and discusses the enduring phenomenon of "Woodstock Nation."
