SUMMARY:First Adirondackers\, by Curt Stager and David Kanietakeron Fadden
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nThe First Adirondackers reaches far beyond the familiar timelines of settlement to tell a deeper story of the Adirondacks – one that has been shaped by an Indigenous presence for more than 12\,000 years. Blending scientific insight with Indigenous knowledge and storytelling\, the book reveals how Native peoples lived with\, learned from\, and stewarded this landscape across countless generations. Through changing climates\, waterways\, and lifeways\, authors Curt Stager and David Kanietakeron Fadden illuminate a history that has too often been overlooked or simplified. The Adirondacks emerge not as an untouched wilderness\, but as a homeland rich with memory\, meaning\, and continuity. The First Adriondackers invites readers to reconsider what they think they know about the region and the enduring relationship between people and place. \nClick here to buy the book from the ADKX Store! \nAbout The Speaker:\nCurt Stager is a scientist\, educator\, and author whose work brings the deep history of climate\, water\, and landscape vividly to life. A professor at Paul Smith’s College\, his writing and teaching has earned recognition statewide. He has spent decades translating complex environmental research into clear\, compelling stories for public audiences. \nDavid Kanietakeron Fadden is an Akwesasne Mohawk artist\, writer\, and cultural historian whose paintings\, illustrations\, and stories are rooted in Haudenosaunee knowledge and lived experience in the Adirondacks. Raised in a family of artists and storytellers\, his work serves as both creative expression and cultural preservation. Together\, they are the authors of The First Adirondackers\, a sweeping account of 12\,000 years of Indigenous presence that reshapes how we understand the region’s past. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Nature of the Place: On the Flora and Fauna of the Adirondacks\, by Edward Kanze
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nThe Nature of the Place is storied Adirondack nature writer Edward Kanze’s invitation to slow down\, smell the roses\, and get to know fellow creatures with more longstanding claims to this landscape than we have. Theirs is the real internet\, a web of life that weaves together an almost infinite number of threads into a fabric that’s a wonder to behold and something close to a miracle in a largely hostile universe. \nIn these dazzling pages\, readers meet the big charismatic animals of the Adirondacks\, the black bear and the moose. We encounter little creatures\, too\, all of which lead fascinating lives while nearly unseen: tiny fish that live in exquisite mountain streams; the infuriating and almost invisible biting insects called no-see-ums; centipedes; millipedes; and earthworms. Discover an orchid that pays a steep price for its rough treatment of bumblebees; plants so desperate for nitrogen they’ve taken to catching animals and eating them; poison-ivy and the reasons why we might want to exchange our dislike of it for love; and a common wildflower that goes through serial sex changes. Loons\, owls\, falcons\, eagles\, and songbirds pour out effusions of apparent ecstasy here\, along with much about bobcats\, foxes\, snowshoe hares\, beavers\, and flying squirrels. Snakes\, frogs\, salamanders\, and big predatory fish make appearances also\, as well as fungi that produce light in the dark\, and bacteria that manipulate the atmosphere to their own advantage\, even causing rain and snow to fall. \nThe Nature of the Place is Kanze’s love letter to his home\, the Adirondacks. Gathering materials from his decades-long column at the Adirondack Explorer and elsewhere\, extensively revised and rewritten for this book\, Kanze’s singular meditations on the flora and fauna of his home resonate far beyond his own beautiful\, beloved\, biologically vibrant neck of the woods. \nAbout The Speaker:\nEdward Kanze is an author\, naturalist\, guide\, and photographer from the Adirondack Mountains. He wrote regular columns for Adirondack Explorer and Bird Watcher’s Digest\, and his work has also appeared in Adirondack Life\, Audubon\, The Conservationist\, and many others. Kanze has been called the Adirondack “guide nonpareil” by Forbes Life magazine and was named Birder of the Year in 2017 by Bird Watcher’s Digest Magazine. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Adirondack Solitude: Peace and Stillness in the Adirondack Wilderness\, by Russ Hartung
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nSolitude is hard to find these days\, and harder still to capture in an image. But that’s just what award-winning photographer Russ Hartung does in his photographs of the majestic peaks and intimate views of the Adirondack wilderness. Adirondack Solitude explores the feeling of being on top of a mountain before sunrise and watching the light change over landscapes of unbroken wilderness; the serenity of drifting across a misty lake in a kayak and hearing a loon’s echoing call in the distance; the chorus of enveloping rain from a sudden thunderstorm while on the trail\, and the answering symphony of peepers along the shore heard from the warmth of a tent in the evening. And it’s the vicarious feeling Hartung shares when he sees someone paddling slowly across a shrouded lake in the fog or a lone figure staring off towards the horizon from atop a rocky outcrop at the end of a hard climb. Whether it’s a wide-open view at the top of a High Peak or the miniature world brimming over in a hidden rock pool\, both the towering and the tiny inspire this sort of awe-inspiring connectedness. \nAbout The Speaker:\nRuss Hartung is a physician and photographer based in the Adirondack Mountain region of New York State. His passion for photography began in childhood with his first Kodak Brownie camera\, and has grown steadily over the years. In recent years\, he has pursued photography more seriously\, participating in numerous contests and juried exhibitions. His work primarily focuses on nature and landscape photography\, capturing the beauty and serenity of the Adirondacks and beyond. He has also enjoyed exploring sports photography\, especially while documenting his daughter’s track career at the Division I collegiate level and in professional competition. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:History and Legends of the Northern Adirondacks. Volume 1.
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program.  \nEver since he began hiking the mountains of the Adirondacks\, John Sasso has been intrigued with the artifacts he would stumble upon\, such as iron bolts from old land surveys\, remnants of long-gone logging camps\, mysterious woods roads\, and stone foundations. The questions those finds provoked: ‘What was here?’ ‘What was their purpose?’ and ‘Where did the name come from?’ led him to research and write about the often-surprising and always entertaining answers he’s found over the years. The first volume in a planned series\, this book shows the fascinating stories behind the mountains of the Northern Adirondacks and\, it is hoped\, will lead to a deeper appreciation of this unique and remarkable area. \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n

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

SUMMARY:River of Mountains
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \nLourie completed his trip. It took him three weeks and marked the first time anyone has traveled from the source of the Hudson to the mouth in a single vessel. The Hudson proved to be a very changeable river. It includes seven locks and nine power dams. The northern half is a true river with strong current\, but the lower half is tidal\, a sunken river from the days of glaciers. In its first 165 miles\, it drops more than 4\,000 feet to Albany. The second half falls no more than a foot. \nLourie’s account of his trip is a fresh look at one of America’s great and complex waterways\, one of the few\, in fact\, that still contains its his­torical and biological species of fish. It is also the longest inland estuary in the world. Henry Hudson called it the “great river of the moun­tains.” Nowadays\, too often the Hudson is stereotyped as a ruined\, polluted industrial river. Its glorious past is compared to its present neglect. \nIn River of Mountains\, Peter Lourie combines the Hudson’s rich history and descriptions of some of the region’s most impressive landscape with the residents of its mill towns\, the loggers\, commercial fishermen\, and barge pilots-all of whom are proof that the river is still a thriving\, vital waterway.

SUMMARY:Adirondack Campfire Stories
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \nThe Adirondack Park is filled with a lore unlike anywhere else in the world. Maybe it’s the beauty that surrounds the Park thanks to the thousands of mountains\, lakes\, and rivers within. Maybe it’s the history of woodsmen struggling to survive in a place that’s been aptly nicknamed\, “dismal wilderness.” Hard to say\, really. But everyone who visits this rugged\, beautiful mountain country will agree; there is a mystery about the Adirondacks.   \nIn this collection of spooky and supernatural stories set in the Adirondacks – and perfect to tell around a roaring campfire – author James Appleton taps into the lore of the Park from its well-trodden towns and trails to hidden places off the beaten path. Adapted from Appleton’s popular podcast\, Adirondack Campfire Stories features spooky stories\, both fiction and non-fiction\, that take place in the mountains\, on the trails\, and at the lakes of real places here in the Park. Tapping into the folklore of this majestic region\, Adirondack Campfire Stories will give readers haunting experiences under the stars for years to come.  \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Outsider: Stories of Growing Up Black in the Adirondacks by Alice Paden Green
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \n“Outsider: Stories of Growing Up Black in the Adirondacks” details Alice Paden Green’s experiences as her family grappled with poverty\, race and acceptance in the mid-20th century. This memoir\, prompted by a recent gathering of Blacks and whites in the Adirondacks for a discussion on race relations\, explores perceptions of Black families in the ’50s and ’60s and whether Blacks are still viewed as outsiders or welcomed with open arms in this four-season\, recreational playground dominated by white residents. \nThis book adds to the narrative on whether more work should be done to diversify the Adirondack region. \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Aviation in the Adirondacks By Aurora Pfaff
DESCRIPTION:This is a virtual program. \nSince 1912\, when a young man named George Gray landed an open-cockpit biplane on a farmer’s field\, aviation has played an important role in communities located throughout the 6 million-acre Adirondack Park. Through a range of historic images and postcards\, Aurora Pfaff tells the story of pilots who linked communities by air\, transported goods and people\, and the small towns and airfields that they called home. From the novelty of planes landing on skis and daredevil flying circuses to forest fire patrols\, exploration of the vast backcountry\, and toy deliveries by Santa\, airplanes have opened the Adirondack wilderness and made remote communities more easily accessible for tourists and adventurers. Yet this golden age for aviation would not last\, for as car travel became easier and more affordable in the mid- to late-20th century\, air travel in the Adirondacks would fade in importance and necessity. \nImages used in Aviation in the Adirondacks come from the Adirondack Experience: The Museum on Blue Mountain Lake\, Historic Saranac Lake\, Keene Valley Library\, Piseco Lake Historical Society\, Saranac Lake Free Library Adirondack Research Room\, Town of Webb Historical Association\, individuals\, and other organizations. \nAbout The Speaker:\n \n  \n  \n
