Book Description
156 pages B&W. While I enjoyed learning history, and appreciated authors' opinions of places, I always thought it would be nice to only have just what I needed to get to where I wanted to go so I could maximize my adventures. I also thought about having to decipher directions that had only one starting point. Therefore, using my years of hiking adventures and waterfall visits, I created an easy-to-use, no frills guide with scannable QR codes to get directions and navigation from Google Maps. I cut through the clutter to bring you a "no-frills", straight to the point guide that gives you only the information you need to get you there. This guide was created for those who are interested in the easier waterfall hikes, including roadside, and for those who would also like to explore other areas of the over six-million-acre Adirondack Park. This compilation of easy to moderate hikes, suitable for average hikers, that will lead to notable, as well as underappreciated, Adirondack waterfalls.

Book Description
Big Moose Lake in the Adirondacks is the lively and well documented story of the growth of the lake side community made famous by the incident that inspired Theodore Dreiser's An American Tragedy. The rich history of the lake unfolds with stories of its early residents, hunters, and guides—Jim Higby, Billy Dutton, Henry Covey, and Bill Dartin—the late 1870s, of the lake's ownership by William Seward Webb, of the construction of the first private camp—Club Camp—in 1878, and the coming of hotels and resorts beginning in 1880 with the construction of Camp Crag. From a time when a telephone number was a simple "8F6" and the "pickle boat" brought supplies to camp, to more recent stories of exuberant waterskiing and motorboat regattas, the book includes a detailed history and descriptions of the camps and resorts on the lake, persons and celebrities who made the lake their year-round or seasonal home—including actress Minnie Maddern Fiske and artist David Milne—natural disasters and political events, recreation, and the work of the Big Moose Property Owners Association. This is the story of Big Moose Lake brought to life by more than 275 family photographs, antique postcards, and previously unpublished memoirs, oral histories, diary entries, and the personal correspondence of the men and women who settled the area and of those who call it home.
