Woods and Waters, or the Saranacs and Racket
By Alfred B. Street
(Originally Published 1860)
Alfred B. Street is among the greatest of Adirondack writers. With the heart of a poet (he actually was a well-known, excellent poet), Street ventured into the Adirondacks, home to hunters, tough woodsmen, dangerous wildlife, extremes of weather, and rugged landscapes.
Although hunting was the primary component of most trips for the men involved, Street assumed the role of observer, noting with great detail and vivid, descriptive passages all that occurred around him. He learned the history of places visited, and the legends as well, preserving many of them for posterity.
Whether you’re a fisherman, hunter, canoeist, hiker, mountain climber, historian, recreational reader, or any combination thereof, you’ll thoroughly enjoy the stories within. Street virtually takes you by his side to share journeys of more than 150 years past.
