Download or read book Boats and Boating in the Adirondacks written by Hallie E. Bond and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 1998-08-01 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adirondack history is a tale written o~ the water. In the Adirondacks, people have traveled, conducted warfare, hunted and fished, gone to church, proposed marriage, and driven logs in, on, from, or by water. Without boats, small and large, Adirondack history—social, recreational, commercial, and environmental—would be an affair entirely different from what we have come to know. In this lavishly illustrated account, Hallie E. Bond presents a history of these boats—canoes, sailboats, power launches, outboards, and the indigenous guideboat—that figure prominently in the overall history of the Adirondacks. The pre-contact Indians paddled dugout and bark canoes; in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries these craft were joined by skiffs and bateaux. Between 1820 and World War II, a distinctive tradition of boat building developed, culminating in the famous Adirondack guideboat. As the nineteenth century progressed, a variety of small, fresh water, musclepowered boats was produced in the Adirondacks—an assemblage matched by only a few places in the country. There were the canoes and the men that made them famous—John Henry Rushton and Nessmuk—and the guideboats and their builders—H. Dwight Grant and Willard Hanmer. In the early twentieth century, the development of the internal combustion engine irrevocably changed not only boat use and design, but life and leisure in the Adirondacks. Bond skillfully captures the whole panorama of boats and boating in the Adirondacks, from early dugouts and bateaux to the highpowered inboards that won Gold Cup races on Lake George and the Kevlar pack canoes of today. Drawing on her experience as an historian and Curator of Collections and Boats at the Adirondack Museum, Bond places events and trends of the region in the context of national and international history and describes the significant contribution of the Adirondacks in the early twentieth-century development of recreation and travel in America. Boats and Boating in the Adirondacks also includes a descriptive catalog of boats from the museum's own collection with nearly two hundred illustrations in addition to those in the narrative, a list of boatbuilders active in the North Country before 1975, and a valuable glossary of terms.
Download or read book Len s Boys written by Carol Payment Poole and published by . This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Len's Boys is a stirring chronicle of wartime adventures, love of home, service stateside and overseas, and the terrible toll paid by those who serve and their families. From May 1943 through the end of World War II, hundreds of Tupper Lake boys who volunteered to serve their country wrote with humor and pathos to three beloved high school mentors-Coach Len Perry, Principal Lawrence P. Quinn, and Father Edmund Dumas. They wrote back to their boys in a weekly newsletter known as the Moaner, keeping them in contact with news from home. These firsthand accounts of wartime experiences are a valuable addition to the history of Tupper Lake, New York State, and the nation. -Caroline M. Welsh, Director Emerita, Adirondack Museum
