"This book was the life's work of Stephen Sulavik, a pulmonary surgeon fascinated by the guideboats. Upon his death, it was shepherded to publication by his friend and former President of the Board of the Adirondack Museum, Robert Worth. He enlisted the help of historian Edward "Ted" Comstock and guideboat builder and expert Christopher Woodward to revise and complete the project. More than a complete history of the iconic guideboats, the book is a heavily illustrated tribute to these unique vessels featuring distinctive characteristics (lake by lake, builder by builder), historic photographs, reproductions of paintings (including those of Winslow Homer), contemporary photos, and a complete glossary of terms related to the Adirondack Guideboat."--Provided by publisher.
