In his twenties, Paul Jamieson moved from a prarie city to a small village in sight of the northern foothills of the Adirondack Park. This book is a summation of his half-century’s exploration of the Adirondack woods as well as the history, glacial geology, literature, and folklore of the region. Writing of legendary figures of the past, he shows how the Adirondacks entered the mainstream of American culture as a testing ground for the theories of New England sages about our national character and destiny.

This book is a good companion to anyone’s Adirondack pilgrimage. Hardcover. 238 pages. Signed by author Paul Jamieson. Members receive 20% discount.
