Yasgur was a 27-year-old assistant district attorney in Manhattan[2][3] when his father allowed the Woodstock Festival to take place on his land. The concert had just been barred from taking place at the Orange County town of Wallkill, NY.[4] The Woodstock Festival took place from August 15 to 18, 1969.
Yasgur went on to become an attorney at Hall Dickler, and also served as Westchester County Attorney.[5]
Yasgur wrote a book about his father, Max B. Yasgur: The Woodstock Festival’s Famous Farmer, which was self-published in August 2009.[6]
