Summary:
The Adirondack region evolved over years from vast, impassable
wilderness to a land of logging camps, tanneries, sawmills, and small
settlements. By the end of the 19th century, the area grew again,
becoming a tourist destination famed for its great hotels, quaint
inns, cottages, and rustic cabins. The hotels and inns spread
throughout the Adirondacks, beginning after the Civil War and
continuing during the Gilded Age between World Wars I and II. The
region drew the rich and famous, as well as workers and families
escaping the polluted cities. This volume contains 200 vintage images
of those famed accommodations that catered to years of Adirondack
visitors. Most of the buildings seen in this book no longer exist,
having been destroyed by fires, the wrecking ball, or simply
forgotten over time. Adirondack Hotels and Inns provides a timeless
look at the vacation retreats of the past.
