Albany Public Library and The Adirondack Experience welcome author Tim Rowland who digs into the story of a 100-year-old unsolved Adirondack murder mystery. In 1924 two Lake Placid guides were hired by a local recreational association to cut a trail up Whiteface Mountain. It was a job from which they would never return. Hikers descending from the summit discovered the mutilated body of George Martin in the brush near the new trail, and his co-worker, Jesse Crowningshield, was later found riddled with bullets.
