Life With Noah – Stories and Adventures of Richard Smith with Noah John Rondeau
By William J. O’Hern
This Adirondack classic features Richard Smith’s story of his adventures with the Adirondacks’ most famous hermit, Noah John Rondeau. Through his remembrances, he reconstructs life in the Cold River Country where he trapped, hunted, fished, and lived on and off with Rondeau. Noah took young Richard “under his wing,” taught him woods skills and the way of life in the mountains. He also divulged the secrets to the code that Rondeau used record information in his journals, that he didn’t want conservation officers to ever see. In the final years of Noah’s life Richard brought Noah to his home to live with him in a converted chicken coop where Noah lived until his death. A vivid and truly amazing story!
