Book excerpt: It starts with balsam-scented forests, paddling down a quiet stream or hiking up a mountain peak...it's an Adirondack state of mind. But not so for Ellen McCauley Rienz, armed with a summer checklist, she has a wedding to plan and all 46 of the Adirondack High Peaks to hike...by Labor Day. Unfortunately, life has a way of interfering with even the best of plans. Something strange is going on at Camp, threatening letters, uninvited neighbors showing up at the most inconvenient times and ghostly apparitions. Add a few mysterious trespassers camping on the lake with glow-in-the dark hula-hoops and summer holds more surprises then Ellen anticipated. When her husband, Vic returns from an extended work trip...different, very different, Ellen is perplexed. Undaunted by the troublesome irritations, she forges on and learns hiking the High Peaks, while rewarding...is really hard. And resentments, thought forgotten and long buried have a way of resurrecting themselves. Award winning author, L.R. Smolarek brings love, laughter, mystery and a hint of sizzle to the splendor of the Adirondack Mountains.

Download or read book The Extraordinary Adirondack Journey of Clarence Petty written by Christopher Angus and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author and naturalist Christopher Angus profiles for the first time the adventurous life of Clarence Petty, one of the great pioneer conservationists of the Adirondack Mountain region of New York State. Raised in the heart of the Adirondack wilderness between Tupper and Saranac Lakes, Petty overcame his humble beginnings and pursued a variety of careers as wilderness guide, forester, Civilian Conservation Corps camp director, World War II pilot, district ranger, and aerial forest-fire fighter—ultimately leaving his indelible mark as a lifelong advocate for the protection of the wilderness. The story of Petty's life reads like a Horatio Alger novel. His father moved to the mountains in the 1880s to work as a guide. His mother was a cook for one of the popular sportsmen's hotels in the area. Young Clarence and his brothers enjoyed the kind of childhood freedom and independence that today's youngsters can only dream about. Their father's sense of self-reliance and their mother's drive to educate her sons led all three to attend college. Clarence followed a path of service to the American landscape. His influence on state policy regarding the Adirondack Park and especially its millions of acres of wilderness has been profound. His life story provides a window into the politics of conservation in the Adirondack region from the early days of the twentieth century to the present.

Book excerpt: All is not well north of the tension line. A series of unsettling nighttime incidents have left the islanders uncertain whether to be nervous or annoyed. Are they victims of an elaborate teenage prank, or is there a malevolent stranger lurking on the island? Meanwhile, out-of-state owners of a new goat farm seem to consider themselves the self-proclaimed leaders of the island; Pali, the ferry captain, is troubled by his own unique version of writer’s block; and Ben, the captain’s ten year-old son, appears to be hiding something. But it is only when the imperturbable Lars Olafsen announces his retirement, and Stella declares her candidacy for office, that the islanders realize trouble is brewing. Fiona must decide whether it is time to leave the island for good, or to make another reckless gamble. Book two in the award-winning North of the Tension Line series, The Audacity of Goats is the continuing tale of Fiona Campbell, and her reluctant adventures among the pleasures, mysteries, and exasperations of small town life

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: William Henry Harrison Murray ("Adirondack Murray") is known as the father of the outdoor movement in America and the modern vacation. A passionate advocate for the wilderness and, specifically, the Adirondacks in New York State, Murray was the author of numerous books from the 1860s until his death in the early twentieth century. Many of his books and short stories focused on the Adirondacks and the importance of human interaction with nature.

Download or read book The Underground Railroad in the Adirondack Region written by Tom Calarco and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2011-04-13 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The success of the Underground Railroad depended on the participation of sympathizers in hundreds of areas throughout the country, each operating independently. Each area was distinctive both geographically and societally. This work focuses on the contributions of people in the Adirondack region, including their collaboration with operatives from Albany to New York City. With more than 10 years of research, the author has been able to take what for years in northern New York was considered akin to legend and transform it into history. Abolitionist newspapers--such as Friend of Man, Liberator, Pennsylvania Freeman, Emancipator, National Anti-Slavery Standard, and the little known Albany Patriot--that were published weekly from 1841 to 1848, as well as materials from local archives, were utilized. The book has extensive maps, photographs and appendices; key contributors to the cause are identified, abolition meetings and conventions are described, and maps of the Underground Railroad stations by county are provided.
Download or read book Adirondack Reflections written by Neal Burdick and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-28 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Adirondacks have been written about since they were first spied by Europeans more than five hundred years ago. Yet for most of the intervening centuries, few of those writers lived in the region of which they wrote--they were not part of the landscape. That has changed in recent years as writers have moved to the Adirondacks and formed a literary community. Perhaps inspired by these writers, longtime residents have discovered that they, too, could be part of such a community. From scratching out a living in the harsh landscape to the wonders of a moonlit cross-country ski, these writers celebrate life in the Adirondacks. In this remarkable collection of essays, the experiences of Adirondack natives are interwoven with the land in a part of America that is both demanding and rewarding.
