THE ADIRONDACKS 



By T. MORRIS LONGSTRETH 



This is a guide to New York State's great natural park, the story of 

 two jolly companions on a fascinating journey, and an informal history, 

 told in the most engaging style, of the romantic region from the days 

 when the Indians had possession of it down to to-day, when the State 

 Commission is doing its splendid work for its preservation. 



The ground covered by the author, who gives his facts while he tells 

 the story of his own and a friend's wanderings through the Adirondacks, 

 covers a section of woodland wilderness larger than Connecticut, girdled 

 and laced with over a thousand lakes, shouldered into the skies by hundreds 

 of mountains. The forest is swarming with deer and the waters with 

 fish. There are sections in the Adirondacks where one may go for miles 

 without meeting another human being; and there are clubs and hotels 

 offering all the luxuries of the most sophisticated city. Whatever the 

 Adirondacks section is and has been the author manages to tell in his 

 narrative. 



There is, for instance, an account of the early settlement there of 

 Napoleon's brother, of the different tribes of Indians and their warfare, 

 of Trudeau, Stevenson, Dewey, Warner, and others whose names are 

 associated with the region, and of the present-day work of the State's 

 Conservation Commission. There is information as to how to travel, 

 what to expect in various localities, as to roads, hotels, etc., etc.
