Just about Everything in the Adirondacks
It is an excellent thing that these columns about the Adirondacks are here given permanence. They constitute Bill White's love letter to the country where he lived his last years and found his greatest happiness...They are his tribute--and a worthy epitaph.'--Alfred S. Dashiell, former Managing Editor, Reader's Digest
Forest and Crag
Thirty years after its initial publication, this beloved classic is back in print. Superbly researched and written, Forest and Crag is the definitive history of our love affair with the mountains of the Northeastern United States, from the Catskills and the Adirondacks of New York to the Green Mountains of Vermont, the White Mountains of New Hampshire, and the mountains of Maine. It's all here in one comprehensive volume: the struggles of early pioneers in America's first frontier wilderness; the first ascent of every major peak in the Northeast; the building of the trail networks, including the Appalachian Trail; the golden era of the summit resort hotels; and the unforeseen consequences of the backpacking boom of the 1970s and 80s. Laura and Guy Waterman spent a decade researching and writing Forest and Crag, and in it they draw together widely scattered sources. What emerges is a compelling story of our ever-evolving relationship with the mountains and wilderness, a story that will fascinate historians, outdoor enthusiasts, and armchair adventurers alike.
The Urban Lifeworld
This volume of scholarly essays, the results of detailed research, contributes to our understanding of the cultural role of cities by offering a new approach to the analysis of urban experience.
Body, Boots, and Britches
A superb blend of good story-telling and sound scholarship this book provides a fascinating record of what “country New Yorkers” have had to say and sing about themselves as they made their way through three centuries. You'll find stories and songs about pioneers,” Injun fighters,” canallers, outlaws, “uncanny critters,” lumberjacks, farmers lovers, murderers, and tricksters. You’ll even be reminded that piracy and whaling are part of New York’s many-faceted tradition. One chapter examines the origins of New York’s strange place-names. Another is devoted to an engrossing account of New York’s proverbs and folk wisdom.
