The Adirondacks, A History of America's First Wilderness

The Adirondacks, A History of America's First Wilderness

by Paul Schneider

  • HISTORY
  • 1998
  • PAPER
  • 416 PAGES

A breezy and entertaining portrait of the forests, rivers, mountains and lakes that make up a good portion of upstate New York. Attuned to the tricky 150-year-old debate over conservation, Schneider does an admirable job balancing natural history with politics, while not forgetting to tell some great stories.  (NYS16, $19.99)
