 Bob Marshall in the Adirondacks: Writings of a
Pioneering Peak-Bagger, Pond-Hopper and Wilderness Preservationist
By Phil Brown (Editor)
Bob Marshall in the Adirondacks collects nearly forty writings about the Adirondacks by
one of America's greatest champions of wilderness. These articles are part of Adirondack
history and part of the history of conservation. Bob Marshall embodied the spirit of
wilderness, and fought for wilderness protection throughout the US. His passion for
wilderness was nurtured in the Adirondack Mountains. They include numerous accounts of his
pioneering hikes in the High Peaks and of his explorations in the vast wild region south
of Cranberry Lake, spirited defenses of the forever wild Forest Preserve, and a charming
sketch of guide Herb Clark. The articles reveal Marshall's deep personal connection to the
Adirondacks, and the inspiration for his commitment to wilderness preservation. Also
included are three articles by Bob's brother George Marshall; pieces by historian Phil G.
Terrie, conservationist Paul Schaefer and writer Phil Brown; a humorous ode to
peak-bagging by writer Bill McKibben; and, the Adirondack Council's proposed Bob Marshall
Great Wilderness.
