Produktbeschreibung
The village of Indian Lake was formally founded in 1858, during a time when many small communities were springing up in the Adirondacks as a result of the lumber industry. In 1889, Dr. Thomas C. Durant established a branch of the Delaware and Hudson Railroad that connected Saratoga Springs and North Creek. Through the later part of the 19th century and early-20th century, the Adirondack Mountains became a paradise destination for the rich and famous. Indian Lake, which began as a stopover for Blue Mountain Lake and Raquette Lake, quickly grew into a tourist center in its own right because of its ideal location and beauty. Indian Lake, Hamilton County is a pictorial journey through the golden age of this region, a haven of beauty and nature.
Autorenporträt
Arnold W. DeMarsh has always been interested in the history of Indian Lake, the town in which he was born. After more than 30 years teaching in New York State schools, he retired and earnestly began collecting postcards and pictures of the town and its people. Through this book, DeMarsh hopes to share part of that collection.
