Description

The purpose of this book is to restore part of the past. A century ago the Adirondack region was the country's favorite resort for small-boat touring. A network of waterways served as almost the only highways. But the advent of paved roads and motorcars caused people to neglect then to forget a large part of the resources that once aroused wonder in vacationing Americans. In re-exploring this network, partly with the aid of 19th-century guidebooks, I have often felt like the city dweller who began a new life in the sticks: "I have seen the past and it works."
