Where the Styles Brook Waters Flow: The Place I Call Home

By Lorraine Duvall

From the Foreword: “In the Adirondacks, we have many opportunities to conclude that human alterations of what nature has provided might seem appropriate in the short term but don’t necessarily solve our problems…. Lorraine Duvall’s book on the Styles Brook valley invites us to take that long view and see what it can teach us.” —Philip Terrie, Adirondack historian

“Where the Styles Brook Waters Flow: The Place I Call Home by Lorraine Duvall is a love song to ‘The Glen’ and to the richness and importance of the Styles Brook Watershed, part of the wildlife corridor called the Split Rock Wildway in NY’s eastern Adirondack Mountains. Like a river, the book flows from one facet to another—from its history, to a modern land use controversy, to an in-depth look at the local impact of Hurricane Irene. She traces her own personal story of coming to know and love the area and describes the delicate balance of privacy and interconnectivity that is the way of life in rural areas. Duvall’s latest contribution to Adirondack lore continues to illustrate the area’s vibrant and fascinating life.” —Céline Keating, author of The Stark Beauty of Last Things
