Schneider, Paul.  THE ADIRONDACKS: A HISTORY OF AMERICA'S FIRST WILDERNESS.  NY: Henry Holt, 1997. 1st edition.  Maps and illustrations add to his general history of the region. Surprisingly, I was an anonymous participant at a meeting the author describes as a significant event. I did not realize its importance at the time - yet I was there, and the author was not. I trust my own recollections, and otherwise this is a decent overview of the region's history. Hardcover. Fine in dust jacket
