The Adirondacks: 1830-1930 (Loose Leaf) (ISBN-13: 9780738562384)

How the Adirondack region was first discovered, then explored and eventually maintained- all of which helped shape what it is today. The East's greatest wilderness, the Adirondack region of New York State, shares its history and lore with Native Americans, early settlers, artists, writers, sportsmen, professors and others. The Adirondacks are known to outdoor lovers, skiers, and year-round visitors for their 46 high peaks, 100-mile canoe route, 133-mile Northville-to-Lake Placid Trail, 30,000 miles of mountain streams, and 3,000 lakes. In addition to its finding, The Adirondacks: 1830-1930, shows how the six-million-acre Adirondack Park, which is the largest park in the contiguous United States and a patchwork of public and private lands governed by one of the largest regional zoning plans in the country, was preserved. Enjoy the natural beauty and rich history of the Adirondacks in 15 historic black-and-white postcards.
