SUMMARY:Mapping the Adirondacks: Colvin\, Blake\, and the First True Survey of the Great Adirondack Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \nNew York State’s famous Adirondack landscape is immense\, spanning over six million acres of public forests\, lakes\, rivers\, mountains\, and private lands. In full color featuring hundreds of detailed maps and photos\, Mapping the Adirondacks celebrates it all with the first clear account of the original surveyor who explored and fully comprehended it—Verplanck Colvin. “Everywhere below\,” Colvin wrote\, “were lakes and mountains so different from all maps\, yet so immovably true.” His monumental accomplishment helped motivate the citizens of New York in 1894 to legally protect it for generations to come. \nAuthor Thatcher Hogan has carefully gleaned narratives and illustrations from Colvin’s notoriously dense annual reports and reassembled them with additional historic photographs to chronicle a compelling\, true story of rugged exploration. After a novice’s explanation of Colvin and Blake’s surveying terms\, the book follows their progress with one hundred of Hogan’s new maps and summit views. The Adirondack landscape remains formidable and fascinating—many of the views are those that Colvin first discovered. Along the way\, Hogan uncovers a story of intense ambition\, physical hardships\, and a weatherproof friendship. \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n
