Life With Noah
Stories and Adventures of Richard Smith with Noah John Rondeau
as told to William J. O’Hern.
by William J. O’Hern
Richard "Red" Smith was a woodsman: a fisherman, trapper, hunter and a loyal
friend of Noah John Rondeau, the "Adirondack Hermit." In the final years of
Smith's life he spent many hours relating these stories of his life in the woods to the
author. Richard as a young man forged a solid friendship with the Adirondacks' last and
most famous hermit, Noah John. Noah taught him the skills and the way of life of the
mountains, and divulged to him his secret writing code. Smith in turn has now passed it to
O'Hern, who shares it with us. Read our review

The Adirondacks: A History of
America's First Wilderness
by Paul Schneider
The Adirondacks were a favorite haunt of philosophers Henry Thoreau and Ralph Waldo
Emerson, of conservationists such as Franklin Burroughs and Theodore Roosevelt, of
bohemians and hippies, and of back-to-the-land types. Still wild enough that wolf
reintroduction has been proposed for the Adirondacks, the territory remains a powerfully
inspiring place of refuge and recreation. Paul Schneider tells the story of this
river-laced, forested land with imagination and a flair for just the right anecdote. Buy

Adirondack Explorations: Nature
Writings of Verplanck Colvin
by Paul Schaefer
Verplanck Colvin worked twenty-eight years as the superintendent of the Topographical
Survey of the Adirondack Mountains, one of the last great frontiers of the East. This
collection of essays reveals Colvin's perspectives on the Adirondacks. His writings
reflect on outdoorsman's appreciation of the wilderness, with a poet's unerring sense for
its beauty. As an early advocate for the preservation of the Adirondacks, he became a
force behind passage of the Forever Wild statute of 1885 and the the establishment of the
Park itself in 1892
