To the Lake of the Skies: The Benedicts in the
Adirondacks Introduction by Barbara McMartin
 Barbara
McMartin brings t light two never-before-published manuscripts that give new insight into
the Adirondacks of the 19th century. One is a beautiful personal memoir that resonates
with deep love for the wideness; the other is an extraordinary tale of harrowing women's
expedition that penetrates trackless forests in search of scientific knowledge. These very
different works are by and about members of the Benedict family, who were involved in
almost every aspect of the region, from early surveys and land acquisition to the most
cherished of summer vacations.
