Adirondack Experience Presents In the Adirondack Library
History and Legends of the Northern Adirondacks, Volume 1 by John Sasso
Monday, April 7, 2025, 7 – 8, virtual (via Zoom), free
Ever 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.
Register HERE.
