The magnificent and thoroughly enchanting mid-Adirondack region lured a hardy type of settler. Bravery and heroism were needed as this isolated existence yielded at times to the cruelties of nature. Slowly the inhabiants developed a mingled culture and lore shared by few other sections of the country. These are the stories of these unique individuals.

No profession in the last two centuries has had a more romanticized image than that of the Adirondack guide. Much of the history and folklore of the Adirondacks has the guide as a central character. Guides were instrumental in the opening of the wilderness to the general public. Stories, interviews and a list of guides fill this volume.

Footsteps Through the Adirondacks: The Verplanck Colvin Story

Webb, Nina H.

The author escorts the reader on a personal journey of discovery through tiny Victorian villages and along the gorgeous mountain ledges and waterfalls of the eastern rim of the Catskill Mountains. She encourages the reader to explore, to bring a friend and a camera, to paint or hike, to fish or swim or ski or simply sit and enjoy these incredible spaces as she has done. Sixty paintings of hers illustrate the travelogue of the land of James Fenimore Cooper's Leatherstocking stories and the site of the Hudson River School of Painting. This beautifully illustrated volume will be a fabulous addition to any library.
