\"Adirondack<\/a>ADIRONDACK HERITAGE: TRAVELS THROUGH TIME IN NEW YORK’S NORTH COUNTRY<\/strong>
\n Collected stories by Lee Manchester<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAdirondack Heritage\u201d is an anthology of stories about the history and historic sites of the Adirondacks, especially Essex County. The collection is laid out in five sections. \u201cThe Historic Olympic Region\u201d focuses on two towns united by the Winter Olympic Games of 1932 and 1980: Lake Placid and Wilmington. \u201cHistoric Essex County & Beyond\u201d covers the Town of Jay and seven other Essex County communities, a scattering of one-room schoolhouses, and a dozen historic and cultural sites. \u201cAdirondac\u201d looks at the 19th century iron-mining ghost town in the Town of Newcomb alternately known as “the Deserted Village,” Tahawus, the Upper Works, McIntyre, or Adirondac. \u201cHistoric Preservation, Adirondack-Style\u201d highlights the work of Adirondack Architectural Heritage, dedicated to preserving and interpreting the historic architecture of the Adirondacks. \u201cJohn Brown\u2019s Farm & The Underground Railroad\u201d tells the tale of North Elba\u2019s own John Brown, the radical abolitionist who met his fate in Harper\u2019s Ferry. It also debunks various misbegotten tales about \u201cTimbuctoo,\u201d North Elba\u2019s famous Black colony, and John Brown\u2019s supposed Underground Railroad station in North Elba.
