A History of the Adirondacks
by Alfred L. Donaldson
 Alfred
Donaldson's History of the Adirondacks is recognized as the major work about the entire
region and as such remains unsurpassed. As the author pointed out in the preface,
"The previously recorded history of the Adirondacks lies scattered in the most meager
parts of old country histories, in a score of early books on travel, in a few guide-books
and pamphlets, in many detached magazine and newspaper articles, and in a long series of
rather dry and often technical State Reports." His task was, therefore, to sift and
sort this material and to bring it together into a comprehensive and cohesive history,
while adding much information from "untapped sources" and a copious index.
Donaldson's work is now once more brought within reach of those who wish to delve into the
colorful past of this famous mountain region.
