Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. 1st Edition. After his friends Harvey Dunham and Mortimer Norton passed way, Lloyd Blankman dreamed of organizing his newspaper and magazine articles, along with articles by his friends, into a book. Sadly, Lloyd died before getting very far into the project. Author William J. o'Hern has resurrected Blankman's vision, by joining his original writing with the enduring works of Blankman and his contemporaries in "Adirondack Characters and Campfire Yarns," a mosaic history of the lives and traditions of the settlers of the Southern Adirondacks. Venture into the wilderness with French Louie and Alvah Dunning and learn about lesser known characters such as Old Lobb of Piseco Lake and Moose River Plains guide Slim Murdock. Travel the trapline with Richard Woods, E.J. Dailey and Burt Conklin, "the greatest trapper." "Adirondack Characters and Campfire Yarns" not only fulfills Blankman's dream, it fills a void in the recorded history of a seldom written-about region and the people who settled it. Illustrated with over 80 vintage photographs. Stated First Edition. Brand new hardcover in a brand new, mylar covered, dust jacket. Map endpapers. Book unread and in perfect condition.
