"'Adirondack Attic Volume 2,' like the first volume in the series, is a pleasure to read, providing that: you love the Adirondack backcountry; you appreciate the history of its settlement; and you enjoy reading clear, clean prose crafted by someone with a deep and obvious affection for his subject matter É his author's eye ranges so widely that readers will finish this book feeling like they've really gotten a good, broad sampling of Adirondack history."
Lee Manchester, Lake Placid News
