Programme virtuel<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Au cours de l\u2019\u00e9t\u00e9 1851, bien avant que le c\u0153ur des Adirondacks ne devienne une destination de vacances, deux jeunes peintres paysagistes ont travers\u00e9 la r\u00e9gion, de Lowville \u00e0 Crown Point, \u00e0 la recherche de paysages sauvages \u00e0 dessiner. Jervis McEntee et son ami Joseph Tubby allaient devenir par la suite des peintres paysagistes reconnus. Guid\u00e9s par Asa Puffer, un b\u00fbcheron de la r\u00e9gion, ils parcoururent \u00e0 pied et en cano\u00eb plus de 200 miles, sans compter les d\u00e9tours. Au cours de leur p\u00e9riple, ils rencontr\u00e8rent tous les guides des Adirondacks en activit\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9poque, ainsi que de nombreux pionniers, des ermites et un nombre surprenant d\u2019autres voyageurs.<\/p>\n

Ce voyage de croquis \u00e9pique est rest\u00e9 pratiquement m\u00e9connu jusqu\u2019\u00e0 pr\u00e9sent. Heureusement, les deux artistes ont tenu des journaux intimes, et celui de McEntee, r\u00e9dig\u00e9 \u00e0 la main, a \u00e9t\u00e9 conserv\u00e9 dans les fonds de la biblioth\u00e8que de recherche de l\u2019Adirondack Experience. L'histoire de ce voyage de croquis s'appuie sur le journal de McEntee ainsi que sur une multitude d'autres sources originales m\u00e9connues, notamment le journal de Tubby, des articles de journaux, des lettres et un article de magazine autrefois anonyme.<\/p>\n

S'appuyant sur ces recherches et en recourant aux outils de la non-fiction litt\u00e9raire, Pitts a r\u00e9dig\u00e9 une s\u00e9rie de trente lettres que les artistes auraient pu \u00e9crire. Ces lettres permettent au lecteur de se familiariser en profondeur avec les artistes et leur exp\u00e9rience de la nature sauvage et pr\u00e9serv\u00e9e des Adirondacks. Chaque lettre est suivie d\u2019une note de l\u2019auteur qui explique les faits sur lesquels reposent les affirmations contenues dans les lettres. L\u2019ouvrage contient \u00e9galement des illustrations de McEntee et des cartes originales retra\u00e7ant l\u2019itin\u00e9raire.<\/p>\n
