The Adirondack Reader

Writers of the past 400 years reflect the changing attitudes toward wilderness and the development of wild lands in the Adirondack Mountains. This is a book about what Americans have sensed, felt, and thought about our nation's basic heritage of wilderness, the heritage that makes us unique among modern nations. "Out of the woods we came, and to the woods we must return, at frequent intervals, if we are to redeem ourselves from the vanities of civilization." Edited by Paul Jamieson and Neal Burdick. Hardcover 6" x 9". 544 pages. 32 pages of reproductions of photos, drawings, and color paintings.
