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.

Among the favorites included: "The Freemasonry of Outdoor Life," "Jack Shooting in a Foggy Night," "The Story that the Keg Told Me," "Henry Herbert's Thanksgiving," and "How John Norton the Trapper Kept His Christmas."

Download or read book I Always Tell the Truth written by Vaughn Ward and published by Bowman/Greenfield. This book was released on 1990 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fiction. "Paul Bunyan, Mike Fink, and Pecos Bill, move over. This collection of tall tales from the Adirondack Liars' Club presents a new, fresh view of American folklore. A delightful collection of tall tales, puns, and outrageous stories. Ward's introduction connects the social custom of telling lies in the Adirondack lumber camps with the older traditions of storytelling and bragging in cultures as old as ancient Greece and Rome. Highly entertaining in themselves, the techniques reflected in the stories include puns, illogical sequences of events, outright lies, and tall tales on the order of Paul Bunyan. Recommended for folktale, anthropology, and history collections"-Booklist.

Download or read book Way Out There written by J.R. Harris and published by Mountaineers Books. This book was released on 2017-08-01 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: • The author is a distinguished member of the Explorers Club • The author is an unexpected adventurer, disarmingly positive and companionable • Lively stories of remote treks around the world Way Out There is an account of J. Robert Harris’s extraordinary exploits while backpacking in some of the world’s most tantalizing places―largely alone and unsupported. And after almost fifty years of wilderness travel, “J. R.,” as he’s known, has plenty of tales to tell! His stories are by turns funny, tragic, and uplifting, and are all told in his down‐to‐earth, friendly style. For J. R., it all began in 1966 when, as a young New Yorker, he impulsively drives his VW Beetle across the country to the very end of the northernmost road in Alaska, searching for an answer to a simple question: What is it like to be way out there? How this happened, whom he met, and what he encountered along the way became the foundation for a lifelong attraction to trekking and adventure travel. Subsequent chapters chronologically explore some of his many journeys, revealing an enduring wanderlust honed by his emerging maturity and outdoor skills. Stories of J. R.’s solo treks point to stark contrasts between his urban upbringing and his wilderness wanderings, while tales of adventure with small but diverse groups of friends are enriched by their collective experiences and varying viewpoints about exploration. Way Out There is a lively yet introspective book by a restless soul that will attract countless readers who love to travel, as well as armchair adventurers and communities looking for outdoor role models. The foreword is by the late Dr. Roscoe C. Brown, Jr., one of the famed Tuskegee Airmen fighter pilots during World War I

Download or read book Adirondack French Louie written by Harvey L. Dunham and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2019-01-13 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although numerous books have been written about the Adirondacks and Adirondackers, not very many have become regional classics. Early authors such as John Todd, Charles Fenno Hoffman, Jeptha R. Simms, S. H. Hammond, J. T. Headly, Alfred B. Street, William H.H. Murray and Verplanck Colvin earned well-deserved popularity in their day and their literary output still exerts a potent appeal more than a century later. One more volume is eminently entitled to consideration as top-bracket upstate literature...and that is Adirondack French Louie by the late Harvey L. Dunham of Utica.
