The Adirondack Park is a huge and diverse region that has earned a special place in the hearts of millions who live and visit its mountains and lakes, vistas and views, and natural and man-made attractions. There are many books that list the major sites, well-trodden trails, and “tourist traps” of the Adirondack region. Out There Adirondacks is a guide to everything else: the unusual, historic, strange, often-passed-by and sometimes-haunted destinations that locals only whisper about. In this fun and fascinating tour of the Adirondacks off-the-beaten-path, author Larry Weill showcases over 100 lesser-known destinations inside and close to The Blue Line, including: Haunted Pine Grove Cemetery The Burial Plot of the Area’s Earliest Double-Agent Famous Tales from the State’s Oldest Courthouse The Ruins of the Old Piseco Tannery The Great Adirondack Frying Pan Toss The Ghosts of Nine Corner Lake Adirondack French Louie’s Cave The Bloody Pond The Spot Where Teddy Roosevelt Became President Whitehall’s Sasquatch Calling Festival The Moss Lake Rebellion of 1975 … and many more.

For decades, the vast Adirondack wilderness has beckoned. Some, having sampled the treasury of Adirondack art and literature, are drawn by its spectacular beauty; many are lured by its year-round sports and recreational opportunities; others are enticed by its health-giving qualities-the clear air, sparkling waters, and refreshing woodlands. The Adirondacks: 1931-1990 celebrates the years in which the six-million-acre preserve truly became a people's park. With some two hundred rare images, the book includes views of the Winter Olympics held at Lake Placid in 1932, attended by thousands from the world over. It applauds the American boys working in the CCC camps in the Adirondacks during the Great Depression. It follows the steamboats as they ply Lake George and the Fulton Chain and other lakes, as well as the railroads as they bring in more and more visitors. It traces the rise and fall of the grand hotels and their successors: the cabins, motels, cottages, second homes, and campsites of the motoring public. It highlights the music, the architecture, the animals, the crafts-the more recent history of the Adirondack culture.

Long considered one of the most respected authorities on the history and geography of the Adirondack region, award-winning author and conservationist Barbara McMartin focuses on the uniqueness of the forty four individual tracts that make up the two-and one-half-million-acre Forest Preserve within the Adirondack Park. In The Adirondack Park, McMartin has aptly likened the various wild forests, wilderness, recreation and primitive areas to a patchwork quilt, with landscapes connecting to jagged boundaries following rivers and narrow valleys. Sidebars of "views and visits" give readers an insider's advantage to making the most of any Adirondack expedition. With a storyteller's ease, McMartin provides a brief history and description of each area. Skillfully combining the results of meticulous research and her life-long passion and advocacy for the Adirondack region, she illuminates the story of how the land parcels were pieced together to become the most sought-after and protected acreage in the east. The book is generously interspersed with maps and vivid geographic descriptions of the forest cover, lakes, mountains, and natural and human history.
