From the Jacket:
Front fold:
From peddling to gum-picking to rossing, read these pages and you will
learn about work that has completely or nearly disappeared in the modern Adirondacks.
You'll meet Slim Murdock, Dut Barber, French Louie and Alvah Dunning,
the legendary Conklin family, the Blueberry Girls, Mother Johnson and Nat Foster; you'll
learn how to make a fishing spoon and run a trapline.
Let yourself be transported to Adirondack days and ways that will not
come around again, except in pages such as these.

Back fold:
William J. O'Hern, or Jay, as he is known to his friends, has enjoyed
the Adirondacks for as long as he can remember. Early in life he enjoyed summers at his
grandparents' cabin and camping trips with his family. As a young man he explored the
wilderness on extended backpacking adventures to historic locations and mountain summits.
Along the way he became a "Forty-Sixer."
Later in life Jay took up his pen to further explore the region he
loved so much.
Adirondack Characters and Campfire Yarns is Jay's third book about the
Adirondack mountains, their rich history, and the people who made them their home.
An outstanding compilation of stories and articles from
several of the Adirondack's most prolific outdoor writers from 1900 to 1970. A treasury of
Adirondack history, traditions and lore.
Includes over 80 vintage photographs. Hard covers contain an illustrated
map printed on the inside front and back covers.
Also contains a bibliography and an index.
