Synopsis
No profession in the last two centuries has had a more romanticized image than that of the Adirondack guide. Much of the history and folklore of the Adirondacks has the guide as a central character. Guides were instrumental in the opening of the wilderness to the general public. Stories, interviews and a list of guides fill this volume.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. "Guides of the Adirondacks" is the first book-length account of its kind, recounting the origin and growth of the Adirondack guiding tradition from the 1830's to the present. The story starts with the hunters and trappers who penetrated the Adirondacks after the Revolutionary War and found thenselves called on to show the wilderness to the region's first tourists. The guides became the catalysts who opened the area to would-be developers, artists and writers, and sportsmen. Soon the distinct profession of guide emerged: a person who could hunt and fish, row a guide-boat, and make a comfortable camp - rain or shine - for a customer, or "sport," willing to pay two or three dollars a day to see the Adirondack woods and waters. Illustrated with historic photos. Presumed first edition. Brand new hardcover in a brand new, mylar covered, unclipped dust jacket. The photos on the listing page are of the actual book for sale, NOT stock photos. Always carefully packaged and shipped quickly. Seller Inventory # 002086
