Great Camps of the Adirondacks Hardcover - 2003

by Kaiser, Harvey H.


From the publisher

The first edition of Great Camps of the Adirondacks--now available in an expanded, updated edition in hardcover. A valuable and beloved guide to the Great Camps of the Adirondacks. It was to this region that the rich and famous at the turn of the century repaired after spending July in their Newport cottages. Nowhere are are the exuberant glories of rustic vernacular architecture more happily displayed than in these rambling and inventive homes.

First line

Donaldson's History of the Adirondacks, William Chapman White's Adirondack Country, and Harold Hochschild's Township 34 provided the best background material; Augustus Shepard's Camps in the Woods helped me to understand the architecture.

Harvey Kaiser traces the history of the Adirondacks from their first sighting by a European in 1535, through the eras of trapping, iron mining, and lumbering, to the development of railroad and steamboat lines that led to the influx of tourists and the building of the 'Great Camps.' The sixty years from 1870 to 1930 were the heyday of these camps, the Gilded Age of the Adirondacks, and Kaiser give a fascinating account both of the personalities who engineered and financed these fabulous structures and of the buildings themselves...More than forty years after the Depression put an end to this princely life-style, the camps themselves are threatened by the forces of politics and nature.
