Adirondack High Images of America’s

First Wilderness Photographs by Hardie Truesdale. Text & detailed driving directions to all sites by Joanne Michaels. Introduction by Elizabeth Folwell

A celebration of America’s first wilderness, the Adirondack Park, created in 1892 out of a patchwork of public and private lands. Roughly the size of the state of Vermont, the park has neither an entrance gate nor an admission fee, and contains six million acres seamed with more than 2000 miles of trails—the nation’s largest trail system. There are thousands of lakes, 1800 miles of rivers, the High Peaks (46 mountains more than 4000 feet high), countless trees, and rare vegetation that thrive under adverse conditions. Hardie Truesdale has brought togeth er some of the places that make the Adirondacks so spectacular. His commitment, patience, and, ultimately, his vision are unique. The images are not just beautiful, they capture the spirit of the Adirondacks.

Bearsville Theater: Heartbeat of Woodstock

A must have collectible for all those that love music!

In the early 70’s, famed artist manager and impresario, Albert Gross man, purchased a 15 acre estate on the edge of the town of Woodstock. His vision was to create a bucolic and creative home for his artists, who included Bob Dylan, Janis Joplin, The Band, Peter Paul and Mary, and Todd Rundgren. He built recording and video studios, a beautiful theater, fine restaurants, housing, and a record label, Bearsville Records.

Now, many years later, and after a complete ground-up restoration, the Bearsville Center rises up like a phoenix and opens its doors again to the public.

This book tells the history of the Theater. A written and visual tour of the renovated facilities. With lots of amazing photos — new and old.
