Adirondack Adventures: Bob Gillespie and Harvey Dunham on French Louie's Trail

Developed around the extraordinary photo-journals of Harvey Dunham and his mentor Bob Gillespie, Adirondack Adventures details the trips, experience and backpacking adventures that inspired Dunham to write his classic book Adirondack French Louie: Early Life in the North Woods. Outfitted with tall leather boots, felt caps, canvas tents and pack baskets they trekked to remote mountain ponds, from the Beaver River region to French Louie's old haunts along West Canada Creek, filling their creels with trout and sharing fireside stories along the way. It's part travel guide, part biography, part history book, and with over 240 vintage photographs and maps, it’s 100% pure Adirondack entertainment.
