Tales from the Adirondack Foothills

viii, 150 pp. Sketches by John Mahaffy. "The Adirondack Foothills, which rise north of the Mohawk Valley, have charmed natives and visitors for more than a century with the beauty of their rolling farms, rushing trout streams, sparkling lakes and tidy villages. This series of related stories explains how the foothills evolved from a wilderness inhabited only by wandering Native Americans to the present prosperous area of dairy farms, busy villages and excellent schools."
