Synopsis
Excerpt from Descriptive Guide to the Adirondacks: Land of the Thousand Lakes and to Saratoga Springs; Schroon Lake; Lakes Luzerne, George, and Champlain; The Ausable Chasm; Massena Springs; And Trenton Falls
The Great Wilderness of New York is generally known either as the north woods or as the adirondacks, according to the view taken of its topography. The for mer title indicates merely a wild, densely wooded district; the latter, a region occupied by all the varied scenery of a most remarkable lake and mountain system. The one may have been the baptismal offering of a botanist; the other of a geologist. We can easily understand how stran gers, or the more sordid of the trappers and hunters, may speak of 7715 North Woods but the more intimately cultivated tourists become acquainted with its wonderful diversity of characteristics, the more instinctively they think and talk oft/ze Adirondacks. And if our State authorities will but wisely take counsel Of this increasing host, and continue the good work already inaugurated, the science of geography will soon add to its vocabulary, this euphonious designation Of one of the world's popular resorts the new york state adirondack park. Foreigners will then find in the name itself - while perusing Th Amerimn T aurist's Guide - a suggestion of a fitting place for a few weeks' rest after their wearisome Atlantic trip, and of a happy prelude of thought and feeling before they visit the western prairies and the national yellow stone park!
