A cold winter night, with the wind blowing outside against the windows, is one of my favorite times to read. It can grow especially enjoyable when the book is riveting. Below are a few suggestions of books, available at area bookstores, by some authors with local ties.
(North Country Books)
The author, who currently lives in Schroon Lake, fell in love with camping in Adirondack lean-tos with his dad in the late 1940s. Since his retirement from the state Education Department, he has researched the lean-to from the times of ancient people and has focused especially on the Adirondack version. This 436-page book with numerous photos and illustrations has something of interest for everyone from the casual hiker to the accomplished outdoors person. It is a first-ever comprehensive study on such a valuable abode.
