Guide to Adirondack Trails - Northeastern Section… by Adirondack Mountain Club
The second edition revised was followed by the "4th edition" in 1947. There was never anything called the third edition when published. But later guides referred to this item as the "Third Edition".
Contains important,articles on conservation and recreation by Robert Marshall, Paul Schaefer, Russell Carson, and others especially in the late 1920's and early 1930's. Final issues commemorate one hundreth anniversary of Marcy assent.
A must have for someone interested in the literature (both fiction and nonfiction) of the Adirondacks.
Hiking guidebooks see most of their use on the trail. Recent editions of this guide were clearly designed with that philosophy in mind, evidenced by their water-resistant covers, rounded corners, and compact dimensions. These books were equipped to take a beating (and mine sure did).
Unfortunately, this 13th edition abandoned the lessons of its predecessors: it comes with square corners, a standard paperback cover, and larger, awkward, physical dimensions. It makes for comfy reading on the couch, but is already being torn apart in my backpack.
Even so, the content is accurate, helpful, and well-researched (as always). If not for the glaring physical issues, this guidebook would easily deserve 5 stars.… (more)
