ISBN:The Central Adirondack con-try is a green and pleasant land of sparkling lakes, towering evergreens, and mountains.
Most people know it as "The Fulton Chain of Lakes" - but it's really the headwaters of the Moose River, whose three branches (North, Middle and South) flow through so many lakes and ponds that most people have forgotten that it's a river. Altogether it links 107 different bodies of water.
The story of how this wilderness became one of the prime year-around
resorts of the East is told in this book, which gives an interesting history of a region which has its full quota of rugged, resourceful characters, its tragedies and its lighter moments.
David Beetle, who knows the country well, spent a Fall, Winter and Spring digging
out information for this book.
To illustrate it, Dante Tran-quille tramped, drove, and flew over the entire area in all seasons, bringing back notable new photographic records of an endlessly fascinating region.
Biggest and most glamorous of the Mohawk River's tributaries is the
West Canada Creek, whose 75-mile course from the heart of the Adirondack Wilderness to the brisk industrial village of Herkimer is one of the finest stretches of scenery in the Empire State.
