Synopsis

Antiques and New York State history meld beautifully in this unique collection of colorful stories from the East's greatest wilderness, the 6-million-acre Adirondack Park.

Volume 1 is a compilation of Andy Flynn's weekly syndicated newspaper column, "Adirondack Attic," from 2003.

About this title

About the Author:

Author Andy Flynn lives in Saranac Lake, New York. His syndicated newspaper column, "Adirondack Attic," runs weekly in several Northern New York newspapers. He works with the Adirondack Museum curators in Blue Mountain Lake to tell the human history behind artifacts in the museum's collections. Each year, through Hungry Bear Publishing, he publishes compilations of his columns in the "Adirondack Attic" book series.

Review:

"So many fascinating objects, so little time to enjoy them all. Andy puts his subjects in a broader context and helps us understand and care about things we might walk unseeingly by on a time-constrained Adirondack Museum visit. This 'Adirondack Attic' book gives me a chance to pause a little longer with some cherished pieces of New York state history." --Charles Brumley, author of "Guides of the Adirondacks, a History: A Short Season, Hard Work, Low Pay"
