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.

Reminiscences of Old Guide--Famed thru North Country In 1930 the Editor of the Malone Evening Telegram (Malone, New York) wrote: At rare intervals there comes to a newspaper office opportunity to print a manuscript of unusual interest and appeal. Such a one is the reminiscences of Charles E. Merrill, for 30 years an Adirondack guide, a member of one of the oldest and best know families of the North Country. Under the title The Old Guide's Story, the Telegram will print Mr. Merrill's book. Trained in the great outdoors rather than in the schools, Guide Merrill nevertheless has the born gift of writing. But more important than this, is that he has a real story to tell--the great epic of the struggles of the pioneers in the woods, the fight with the elements, the joys and sorrows of a primitive mode of life. His father, Darius, of whom he has much to say in his story, was a famous guide in the early days when the Adirondack region was first becoming known to sportsment. His grandfather was one of the first settlers in the Chateaugay Lake Country, in the northern foohills of the Adirondacks. Mr. Merrill, the youngest son of Darius, naturally followed his father's profession and became one of the best known guides in this section. Although sixty-five years of age he is as strong and active as most men in the prime of life. In leisure time, he reads voraciously and ha has a keen understanding of men as well as of the wild creatures of the wilderness. He has a philosophy of his own, and it must be good, because it has brought him peace, contentment and the respect of his fellow men. You will not want to miss any of Mr. Merrill's fascinating story. ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Charles E. Merrill (1863-1935), chronicler of much of the early history of Chateaugay Lake, NY, was a quiet, thoughtful, kind, and courteous gentleman, one of nature's noblemen. He loved the woods and lakes, and all the untamed and unspoiled things in nature. He loved to commune with the creatures in their native environment, and to walk his solitary way through the aisles of the cathedrals of trees where he was wont to worship. He was a member of the pioneer family for whom the community of Merrill was named. His father was Darius Merrill, famous as a hotel proprietor, woodsman, and guide when sportsmen first began to invade the Adirondacks. Charles E. Merrill followed in his father's footsteps and likewise became known as one of the most reliable guides in the North Country.
