Where was that narrow-gauge railroad your grandfather told you about? What about the steamboats? Maybe you’re still holding out for the possibility of a sea serpent in Lake Champlain, or hoping you’ll chance upon a legendary lost silver mine while you’re out enjoying a hike in the balsam wood. This is the sort of interesting and sometimes unusual information that readers of Adirondack Memories and Campfire Stories will find fascinating. O’Hern has compiled first-hand stories from an invaluable series of little quarterly magazines that native Adirondack archivist, historian, and folklorist George Glyndon Cole published from 1946-1974. Few complete collections now exist, in less than a handful of North Country libraries, but back then readers eagerly anticipated each new issue. Some readers will remember reading North Country Life, later called York State Tradition, from cover to cover. It was exciting indeed to read about one’s own rural region, especially when the articles came straight from the pens and hearts of one’s neighbors. Here you’ll find everything from fireside legends to tall tales to weird beliefs of early north-country folks. Amusing and sometimes electrifying reading, and if you pass some of these tales along at a future campfire, you’ll be part of a long and important tradition. Author William “Jay” O’Hern is to be admired for collecting the articles and stories that comprise Adirondack Memories and Campfire Stories, for they might otherwise be lost to time as more and more copies of Glyndon Cole’s magazines disappear. His book is an illuminating read and a valuable resource that belongs on the shelf of everyone who loves Adirondackana.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003e328 Pages\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9780989032834\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NORTH COUNTRY BOOKS, INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7101725507639,"sku":"203491","price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/2736\/0311\/products\/203491.jpg?v=1618604511"},{"product_id":"hermit-and-us","title":"The Hermit and Us","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Hermit and Us: Our Adirondack Adventures with Noah John Rondau\u003cbr\u003eBy William J.

Zarzynski enlightens readers with a history of these utilitarian vessels, considered the most important vessels that transported armies during the eighteenth-century wars in North America, and includes their origins and uses.

In 1759, many submerged boats were raised but some were not. Then, in 1960, two divers rediscovered several sunken bateux, dubbed the \"Ghost Fleet\". These shipwrecks were the focus of underwater archaeological investigations that provided archaeologists with opportunities to gain unprecedented insight into the eighteenth-century lifeways. Zarzynski explores and explains shipwreck preservation techniques, the creation of shipwreck parks for scuba enthusiasts, and the many multifaceted programs developed by the nonprofit organization Bateux Below to help protect these cultural treasures. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e261 pages \u003cbr\u003ePaperback\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 9781438476728  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SUNY PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32656022798424,"sku":"208101","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/2736\/0311\/products\/208101.jpg?v=1588875119"},{"product_id":"the-lean-to","title":"The Lean-To, A History from Ancient Times to the 21st Century","description":"\u003cp\u003eBy Robert E.

She recounts the creation of a parallel, unseen world of black motorists, who relied on travel guides, black-only businesses, and informal communications networks to keep them safe. From coast to coast, mom-and-pop guesthouses, beauty parlors, large hotels- including New York's Hotel Theresa, the Hampton House in Miami, and the Dunbar Hotel in Los Angeles- and nightclubs and restaurants like New Orleans' Dooky Chase and Atlanta's Paschal's fed travelers and provided places to stay the night. A the heart of Sorin's story is Victor and Alma Green's famous Green Book, a travel guide begun in 1936 that allowed black Americans to join in that most basic rite, the family vacation.    \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NORTH COUNTRY BOOKS, INC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":33141685321816,"sku":"208298","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/2736\/0311\/products\/208298.jpg?v=1594675289"},{"product_id":"in-camp-with-adk-hunters","title":"In Camp with Adirondack Hunters","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eShort stories from camps along the Adirondack Railroad, Jerseyfield area, Valenty Mierek's Adirondack Cave Camp near Blue Mountain Lake, Sabattis, Black Creek, West Canada Creek, interior Alaska, and many remote Adirondack trout ponds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e224 Pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e978-0977101771\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BLUE LINE BOOK EXCHANGE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39693050839128,"sku":"206573","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0004\/2736\/0311\/products\/51SQ2ItaSoL._SX340_BO1_204_203_200.jpg?v=1670597744"},{"product_id":"deer-hunter-s-history-boo","title":"A Deer Hunter's History Book","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eA unique combination of 20th century Adirondack history, hunting, and deep woods adventures from the regions of Raquette Lake, Blue Mt.

The perpetrators range from average citizens to some of the worst degenerates imaginable. Their methods run the gamut from poison to clubs to knives to guns to axes, while their stories contain shocking revelations and remarkable twists, far too many to count. And some are just plain unusual. These true chronicles from long ago once held readers spellbound, and are as riveting as many of the high-profile murder cases in modern media. It's at once fascinating and disturbing to explore the devious minds of those who walk among us.
