Seneca Ray Stoddard- Versatile Camera Artist

Quoting from the flap of the dust jacket: ".this long-awaited book will provide most of the information need to understand and appreciate the many-sided talents of a truly remarkable, energetic man- Seneca Ray Stoddard of Glenn Falls, N.Y. (1844-1917).Widely acclaimed during his eventful career as a photographer in the same league as Mathew Brady and William H. Jackson, Stoddard also earned nearly equal fame as a guidebook writer and mapmaker. Lesser known were his attainments as an outstanding artist, witty author, inventor, hard-hitting editor and publisher, wide-ranging traveler and lecturer. The details and stories behind these varied accomplishments are very informative and entertaining. Of particular interest to those who love the Adirondacks is the account of Stoddard's important role in the successful effort to establish the Adirondack Park in 1892."
