Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Drawing on firsthand observation and regional knowledge, Vincent Engels documents the ecological richness of the Adirondack region during the interwar years, when remote lakes and streams still supported abundant native trout and a distinctive guide-and-camp tradition shaped local life.

Engels' account serves as both a valuable primary source for Adirondack history and a measured elegy for a landscape and way of life that would soon be altered by modernization and environmental change.…
