Author Maitland C. Desormo chronicled some of the rich history of the Saranac Chain of Lakes region in New York State's Adirondacks. Once relatively unknown because of its remoteness, the lure of the Adirondacks began attracting sportsmen, lumbermen, land speculators, and health seekers in the early 1800's. This rchly illustrated volume contains over 250 vintage photographs.
