History and Legends of the Northern Adirondacks

Friday, July 19 at 7pm @ The Atmospheric Sciences Research Center (located at 110 Marble Mt Lane)

Join author and historian John Sasso as he speaks about his recently released book, History and Legends of the Northern Adirondacks. The presentation expands upon John Sasso’s experiences and research. Ever since he began hiking the mountains of the Adirondacks, he has been intrigued with the artifacts he would stumble upon, such as iron bolts from old land surveys, remnants of long-gone logging camps, mysterious wood roads, and stone foundations. The questions those finds provoked: “What was here?” “What was their purpose?” and “Where did the name come from?” led him to research and write about the often-surprising and always entertaining answers he’s found over the years. The first volume in a planned series, this book shares the fascinating stories behind the mountains of the Northern Adirondacks and, it is hoped, will lead to a deeper appreciation of this unique and remarkable area. Author will sign books.
