Download or read book ADIRONDACK XMAS written by Robert Lavoie and published by Lexingford Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-31 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert LaVoie is a writer based in Northern New York--the true Northern New York, north of the Adirondacks. He fell in love with the North Country after being brought to Lake Placid on a family vacation in 1964. He became a Social Studies teacher at St. Regis Falls Central School in 1989. He is now retired and lives in West Stockholm, New York. About AN ADIRONDACK CHRISTMAS: This charming story follows the somewhat whimsical adventures of a retiree as he takes up residence in a Northern New York cabin, only to find his "peace and quiet" disturbed in unexpected and quite wonderful ways. His strategy for retreating from humanity ironically brings him a wealth of human contact and love--in addition to the cherished companionship of a stray dog he acquires (or who acquires him). Beautiful watercolor illustrations are provided by Melody Potter, capturing the spirit of the Adirondacks and the heart of the story. This is a book you will read more than once, and recommend to your friends. If you have traveled in Northern New York, AN ADIRONDACK CHRISTMAS will bring you back to that gorgeous scenery, interesting people, and surprises around each corner.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Holiday Tales: Christmas in the Adirondacks A cabin. A cabin in the woods. In the cabin a. Great fire place piled high with logs, fiercely ablaze. On either side of the broad hearthstone a hound sat on his haunches, looking gravely, as only a hound in a meditative mood can, into the glowing fire. In the center of the cabin, whose every nook and corner was bright with the ruddy firelight, stood a wooden table, strongly built and solid. At the table sat John Norton, poring over a book, - a book large of size, with wooden covers bound in leather, brown with age, and smooth as with the handling of many generations. The whitened head of the old man was bowed over the broad page, on which one hand rested, with the forefinger marking the sentence. A cabin in the woods filled with firelight, a table, a book, an old man studying the book. This was the scene on Christmas Eve. Outside, the earth was white with snow, and in the blue sky above the snow was the white moon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The weather outside is frightful but Ellen and her friends, Twinkie and Adele, spin the perfect Christmas tale of holiday cheer, sleigh rides, ice skating, snow angels and of course, Santa too.

Download or read book The Adirondacks 1931 1990 written by Donald R. Williams and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2003 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, the vast Adirondack wilderness has beckoned. Some, having sampled the treasury of Adirondack art and literature, are drawn by its spectacular beauty; many are lured by its year-round sports and recreational opportunities; others are enticed by its health-giving qualities-the clear air, sparkling waters, and refreshing woodlands. The Adirondacks: 1931-1990 celebrates the years in which the six-million-acre preserve truly became a people's park. With some two hundred rare images, the book includes views of the Winter Olympics held at Lake Placid in 1932, attended by thousands from the world over. It applauds the American boys working in the CCC camps in the Adirondacks during the Great Depression. It follows the steamboats as they ply Lake George and the Fulton Chain and other lakes, as well as the railroads as they bring in more and more visitors. It traces the rise and fall of the grand hotels and their successors: the cabins, motels, cottages, second homes, and campsites of the motoring public. It highlights the music, the architecture, the animals, the crafts-the more recent history of the Adirondack culture.

Download or read book Rooted in Rock written by Jim Gould and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2001-06-01 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past twenty years the Adirondacks have inspired a resident population of writers who have gained regional and national prominence using the Adirondack region as their primary setting and subject matter—or at least as a significant point of departure. Rooted in Rock is the first collection of its kind in more than twenty years, since Paul Jamieson's Adirondack Reader. What makes the volume unique, though, is the number of contributors who not only make the Adirondacks their subject, but who make their homes in these mountains. The works in this volume include contemporary essays, literary nonfiction, poetry, short fiction, and excerpted fiction and are a mix of new and previously published writings by forty-three authors, established as well as emerging, including Bill McKibben, Sue Halpern, Russell Banks, Alex Schoumatoff, Chase Twichell, Curt Stager, Amy Godine, and Jim Gould, to name a few.
