Book Description
Fiction. Young Adult. Even before it was hidden beneath the waters of the Great Sacandaga Reservoir, the Sacandaga Valley had more than its share of ghosts. No one knows the stories of that inundated Adirondack Valley better than octagenarian Don Bowman. In this new volume, edited by folklorist Vaughn Ward, you will encounter the darker side of the supernatural in that lost valley. THE WITCH OF MAD DOG HILL is replete with chilling tales of those who had dealings with the devil, shape shifters, witches, and haunted houses. All these stories, according to Don Bowman, are true and you'll find the storyteller himself in more than a few of them. You'll also find, as folklore, history, and Don's creative eye intertwine, that these are tales written by a man who can recognize the darkness, but always celebrates the light -- without ever losing his sense of humor in the process. -- Joseph Bruchac, Adirondack writer and storyteller.

Book Description
This new second edition contains an Introduction by Donald R. Williams, author and educator, and additional Reflections authored by Mildred S. Colvin in her ninth decade of life as well as more period photographs. Sisters Gladys Stanyon and Mildred Stanyon Colvin collaborated during the production of their mother's book, "The Quiet Years" by Minnie Patterson Stanyon, published in 1965. They had grown closer during that experience and felt that the story did not end with the nineteenth century and wanted to continue it into the twentieth when they had lived their own childhood and teenage years. This book, published in 1975, is a sequel to their mother's book and describes the life of a family in a small town in the Adirondack Mountains before the advent of the modern world.
