NewÊ novelÊ detailsÊ howÊ CivilÊ WarÊ collidedÊ withÊ Adk.Ê community Based on true events, Pearsall’s “Leaves Torn Asunder” will see a launch party July 9 in North Creek

By Pete DeMola

pete@suncommunitynews.com

NORTH CREEK — Glenn Pearsall has been interested in local history since he was a teenager.

Stumbling across old foundations in the woods would kick up all sorts of questions: Who lived there� What were their lives like� Pearsall, gripped by these questions, turned to writing as an outlet for this unfet-

tered curiosity.

“There are a lot of compelling stories that needed to be shared,” said Pearsall, who has just completed his third book, “Leaves Torn Asunder: A Novel of the Adirondacks and the American Civil War.” The novel marks Pearsall’s first entry into the field of historical non-fiction.

Not much light has been shed on New York’s role in the Civil War, said Pearsall, much less the Adirondacks.

But the Empire State played a pivotal role in the conflict that cleaved the young nation in two. As the most populous Union state, New Yorkers bought the most war bonds and provided the most soldiers.

The state was also home to a sizable peace movement, alongside other key figures.

“Most people don’t understand or appreciate that,” Pearsall. “I’m trying to fill part of that void.”

“Leaves” is the story of conflict seen through the fictional settlement of Nobles Corners, based loosely on Johnsburg, and of the man who helped bring the war to its doorstep through his activism.

As the debate on the legality of slavery began to reach a boiling point in the 1850s, local churches were hesitant to take a strong anti-slavery position, Pearsall said, because they didn’t want to upset their southern counterparts.

Enter Wesley Somerville, an outspoken abolitionist.

Paired with an itinerant preacher, Somerville was a leading voice for abolition in this hardscrabble stretch of the country, where folks eked out a meager living through sustenance farming and took pleasure in the simpler things, like church socials and apple pies.

But by the time the war reached this remote swath of the state, Somerville was too old to serve his country.

His character, said Pearsall, reflects the “sorrow in creating a war he couldn’t fight in.”

Once the broader events of the war are placed into motion, “Leaves” traces how the >> See BOOK | pg. 10

NORTH CREEK — A local Catholic priest is encouraging the faithful to get back in touch with their spiritual side by offering a Vatican-issued sacrament over the holiday weekend.

Pope Francis has declared this as the Year of Mercy.

As part of the initiative, Catholics around the world are encouraged to extend forgiveness to others and accept the mercy of their creator.

Father John O’Kane will be offering the sacrament, which is similar to the ritual of confession, to parishioners in four area churches: St. Isaac Jogues in Chestertown and Hague; St. James in North Creek and St. Cecilia’s in Warrensburg.

While O’Kane offers confession weekly, he hopes the star wattage associated with the Pope’s edict will bring lapsed Catholics back to the Church.

As part of the conditions associated with the program, O’Kane must make himself available to perform the sacrament for 24 hours.

Unlike other priests, who have chosen to engage in a single marathon session — including Pope Francis himself — >> See CHURCHES | pg. 9

Johnsburg ‘02 grad tells new grads to ‘love loud’

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

JOHNSBURG — A classroom adjacent to the gymnasium at Johnsburg Central School slowly filled with 14 soon-to-be graduates Saturday afternoon.

The young men donned blue caps and gowns, while the young women wore white. They joked and chatted, watching the time tick down before the would enter the gym as students, one last time.

Some flitted in and out of the room, looking for family and friends as they arrived, quickly returning from the heat to the relief of the air-conditioned room.

They entered the ceremony, walking in pairs, with the senior band providing “Pomp and Circumstance,” followed by the National Anthem.

Commencement speaker Katie Cole delivered a powerful message of her personal experiences since her own graduation from Johnsburg in 2002.

She listed “seven steps to success according to me,” with humor and honesty.

Flexibility is key, she said.

“Boom, everything changes,” said Cole, detailing her experiences after a hurricane wiped out the area where she lived.

Take risks, be prepared and regret nothing, she told the students.

“Love loud,” she said, a lesson she learned from a dear friend. “Say it like you mean it. You better love me right out loud,” she recalled her friend saying shortly before she died tragically in a car accident.

Finally, she asked the students to “do your best” and “be thankful.”

Before they were done, they’d have diplomas in hand, evidence of 13 years of hard-work in print.

That perseverance should help prove, said Valedictorian Mikaila Johnson, “nothing should have the power to stop us from doing what we want to do with our lives. There should be no force on the face of the plant that keeps us from something big, something that could change the world.”

Three graduate from Long Lake Central School

By Mike Corey

news@suncommunitynews.com

LONG LAKE — The Long Lake Central School class of 2016 was small but sincere, and certainly diverse.

None of the three were a native of the area, but all three settled in to the community of Long Lake, and all had an impact on the community.

The commencement event of Friday evening, June 24, proved to be a celebration of these graduates as they moved on from LLCS to their new lives.

After a welcome from Superintendent Dr. Donald Carlisle, valedictorian Emily Porter spoke about her three years in Long Lake, especially her experiences in regard to her artwork and her positive transition into the small town of Long Lake. She will be attending college in Maryland in the fall, working toward her goal of becoming a graphic designer.

Salutatorian Madelyn Penrose spoke about her move from a large community and school in New Jersey four years ago to a school with a freshman class of one in a tiny town in the middle of the Adirondacks.

“Over the past four years I have learned that Long Lake Central School truly cares about its students and the education they receive,” she said. “No one gets passed along or overlooked. Instead, we all have to work hard to do well.”

Penrose will be pursuing a degree in substance abuse counseling at Hudson Valley Community College.

Jon Kristoffersen, the third member of the Class of 2016 and the one who had been there for the shortest time (one year), is an exchange student from Norway. He will be returning to his hometown to complete his fifth year of high school after obtaining his NYS Regents Diploma.

He talked about his experience in Long Lake, living with two different families.

“Learning the American culture and way of living has

opened up my views of the rest of the world even more,” he said.

An video presentation put together by the senior class nicely covered the lives of each of the three graduates, concluding with a collection of images that showed the three together.

Keynote speaker Jerome Flanagan, school bus driver and

tax collector, challenged the graduates to make a difference in someone’s life today and tomorrow; shake hands with a stranger; and be a good listener and don’t jump to conclusions.

Faculty Speaker Sally Long, the school’s media specialist, let the graduates know that they should not be afraid to fail.

“Put yourself out there,” she said.

“Also, try to balance your emotions/ feelings with what you are thinking. Find time in your life for love, whether pet, person or cause — say it, mean it, practice it.”

The ceremony continued with the presentation of numerous graduation awards, followed by the awarding of NYS diplomas by Carlisle and board of education members Paul Roalsvig and Brian Penrose, whose daughter Madelyn was a graduate.

After the turning of tassels and presentation of flowers to the graduates’ parents/guardians, Carlisle made concluding remarks on behalf of the three.

A time for celebration

ver the last few years as our nation celebrates its independence in July, we’ve joined with other free community newspaper publishing companies to celebrate the services provided to over 50 million homes around the country.

A recently published article in Editor and Publisher titled “Despite �Doom and Gloom’ Community Newspapers are Growing Stronger” shows that small, community newspapers across the country are not just surviving, but — in many cases — actually thriving. The article notes that many of them have managed to dodge the layoffs, furloughs and downsizing that larger papers have had to face.

Chip Hutcheson, president of the National Newspaper Association, which represents more than 2,100 community newspaper companies throughout the country, said: “You don’t hear about community papers going out of business. At a recent press association meeting, I met several people who say they started a (small) paper two or three years ago.”

Don’t be fooled by the misnomer that “free” means “cheap” or “throw away” nor that “community” isn’t the single most important focus of the product. Our business model is based on two simple facts: 1) A quality newspaper can be published and distributed in mass without charging the recipient and 2) The paper reaches so many local people that it becomes a useful tool for local businesses to distribute their advertising message.

Sadly too many newspaper have adopted the wrong approach in meeting the needs of their market primarily due to their corporate structure, gone awry after a buying frenzy, in the later part of the last century.

Kevin Slimp, a renown newspaper consultant, recently put it this way: “Borrowing an old line from Ford, �Quality really is job one.’ Reduce quality, and the result is fewer readers. Reduce readers, and the result is fewer advertisers.

Reduce advertisers, and the result is fewer pages. Reduce pages, and the result is even fewer readers. It’s a never-ending cycle.”

Simply put community newspapers are alive and well.

We are relevant and vital to the communities we serve. Our future success is directly linking to the communities we serve by providing the stories about our people, our communities, and our local businesses. Ultimately, we do not intend to abandon them, and we don’t believe our readers will abandon us.

On behalf of the staff and our family, I want to thank you for the faith you’ve placed in us and for your continued encouragement as we continue to grow stronger.

County taxpayers deserve forwardlooking leadership on Frontier Town

T

he Essex County Board of Supervisors have ended the most recent round of discussions on Frontier Town by declining to authorize a study of the buildings that once constituted the former theme park.

Obtaining a full understanding of these structures, said county officials, would have aided them in deciding how to move forward on the problematic parcels, particularly if they were found to contain asbestos, which can be costly to remediate.

But lawmakers overwhelmingly voted to defeat the proposal on Monday, citing unknown costs.

Without a single trace of irony, supervisors then casually discussed the idea of putting the property back on the auction block.

Then they recessed without making a decision.

Total meeting time: Less than 30 minutes.

To what do we attribute this unwillingness to solve pressing governmental affairs� Is it extreme amnesia� Maybe it’s the hot weather. Or perhaps this decision is a combination of the two, resulting in a total mindmelt.

Either way, the county supervisors who voted against the measure should be embarrassed at their lack of institutional memory.

Punting the parcel to the auction block is exactly what lawmakers did in 2014, resulting in a dispute with a private businessman that blossomed into a full-fledged lawsuit, a permissive referendum in North Hudson and countless hours of debate that ultimately led nowhere.

And yet here we are, casually talking about another tax auction.

It’s tough to calculate how much this indecision has cost county taxpayers.

But we do know back taxes have continued to accrue on the property.

In just two years, the tax bill has risen 20 percent to $174,300.

That equates to about $37 per day.

There appears to be no end in sight.

Earlier this year, our editorial board said the county should simply give the property to the Open Space Institute for inclusion in a planned state Department of Conservation trail network across the central Adirondacks.

That may still be an option. But if lawmakers have a broader plan, they’re not showing their hand, instead opting to engage in a series of secretive discussions behind closed doors.

While we still think pumping taxpayer dollars into the facility is a fool’s errand, lawmakers owe it to themselves to finish what they started — and that includes authorizing the funds to conduct a full structural review of all buildings and remediating as necessary.

Dropping the ball like this is irresponsible, and even more insidious considering lawmakers haven’t announced an alternative plan.

Let’s face it: No one is going to purchase the 89-acre parcel in its current state. But if the county is planning on going down the auction route yet again — which boggles rational thought — a modest investment into sprucing up the property may prove to be a wise investment.

We also floated the idea of relocating a hunting lodge once used by Finch Pruyn timber executives from the Boreas Ponds shoreline to a section of the countyowned property.

Obviously that’s not going to happen. But it doesn’t mean that the idea of a visitors center doesn’t have legs.

The Essex County Board of Supervisors should at least consider applying for grants and building a visitors center of their own, much like Newcomb is in the process of doing.

Think about it.

The center could also be used as a staging area for a proposed trail network.

Imagine what snowmobiling would do to give local businesses a shot in the arm, especially once a land use plan is officially designated for the Boreas Pond Tract.

Such a place could also serve as a satellite office for organizations like Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, who could use the space to promote the county’s tourism assets, pushing commuters on the Adirondack Northway inland to visit farms, brewpubs, art galleries and other attractions in the county.

But instead, the Essex County Board of Supervisors has chosen to do nothing.

Lawmakers need to zoom out from their little towns and start looking at Frontier Town as a county-wide asset and an opportunity for growth.

That’s the type of forward-thinking county taxpayers deserve.

GUEST VIEWPOINT

Swiss voters reject economic stupidity Jacob G. Hornberger> President of The Future of

Freedom Foundation jhornberger@fff.org

G

ive Swiss voters credit — well, at least 77 percent of them. In a recent national referendum, they overwhelmingly rejected a proposal that would have guaranteed each Swiss adult a monthly payment of $2,560 from the Swiss government. Just think: the payment was going to be free, just like Social Security, Medicaid, farm subsidies, food stamps, and education grants are free here in the United States.

Why do I say those Swiss voters are smart� After all, what’s smart about rejecting free money, right� They’re smart because they understand that the generous monthly payment wasn’t going to be free at all. In order to make the payments, the government would have to first collect the money from the Swiss citizenry through taxes.

So let’s see: Under the plan a Swiss citizen would receive $2,560 in free money, but first he would have to pay $2,560 in monthly taxes so that the Swiss government would have the money to send him the $2,560. In actuality, he’d probably have to pay around $3,000 per month in taxes, because the government would have to pay salaries to government bureaucrats and incur other expenses for performing that service.

Do you see why I say that those 77 percent of Swiss voters are smart� Of course, an American statist might come back and say, “Jacob, it didn’t have to be that way. The Swiss government could have taken all the money from the rich so that the money really would be free for most of the people receiving it.”

In fact, voters were not told how the government would be collecting the money to fund the generous monthly dole.

Maybe that didn’t matter to the Swiss.

Maybe the voters recognized the fundamental wrongfulness of using the government to take money from those to whom it belongs in order to give

it to people to whom it does not belong.

Maybe they realized that the more income and savings that are confiscated from the rich, the less capital there is coming into existence, which is one of the keys to a prosperous society and rising standards of living for everyone.

Maybe they felt like Curdin Pirovino, a Swiss industrial designer, who was quoted in a New York Times article on the vote entitled “Guaranteed Income for All� Switzerland’s Voters Say No Thanks”: “You cannot give a society the idea that money is available for doing nothing.”

Or maybe they just didn’t want to tamper with a system that, according to the Times, “has allowed the country to remain among those with the highest living standards in the world, even with a growing and aging population.”

In fact, get this: Switzerland’s unemployment rate is 3.5 percent, less than half the average in the European Union. Compare that to the chronic, permanent unemployment rate of 30–40 percent for black teenagers in the United States.

The reason for the low Swiss unemployment rate� There is no minimum wage in Switzerland. As I detailed in a recent blog post entitled “MinimumWage Smartness in Switzerland,” in 2014 76.3 percent of Swiss voters rejected a minimum wage for Switzerland. Unlike American voters and other European voters, Swiss voters clearly understood that a minimum wage locks many people out of the labor market, leaving them unemployed and in need of a government dole.

Our American ancestors certainly would have related to the Swiss people today. That’s because our ancestors brought into existence an economic system without income taxation, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, farm subsidies, education grants, minimum-wage laws, economic regulations, welfare, drug laws, foreign aid, a vast military-industrial complex, a national-security governmental apparatus, foreign military bases, and other programs that form the essence of the welfare-warfare state under which today’s Americans live.

What happened when the United States had no welfare-warfare state� The result was not only the most prosperous society in history, especially for those at the bottom of the economic ladder, but also the most charitable.

Like those Swiss voters, our American ancestors were smart. Not so, unfortunately, for all too many modern-day Americans.

ThanksÊ toÊ thoseÊ whoÊ madeÊ DuckÊ DerbyÊ aÊ success

DecisionÊ toÊ dissolveÊ villageÊ shouldnÕ tÊ beÊ basedÊ onÊ taxesÊ alone

To the Editor: On Sunday, June 19, the Wadhams Volunteer Fire Company held the sixth annual Boquet River Duck Derby at the Wadhams Strawberry Festival.

The Derby was held as a fundraiser for the Fire Company’s Community Fund, which we use to help support local families in times of need, and other community causes. 495 small plastic ducks were launched into a man-made river on Church Street in Wadhams and raced to the finish line, trying to avoid the obstacles in their path, vying for the three cash prizes-$250 for first place, $100 for second place and $50 for third.

Despite a logjam of ducks part way through the race that seemed to threaten whether any of them would actually reach the finish line, there were three clear winners.

In addition to the cash prizes, more than 50 additional prizes were donated by local businesses and artisans.

We would like to thank the following for their very generous donations, which helped to make this event such a success: We would also like to thank all those who bought tickets to participate in the derby and support the fire company, and those who came out to cheer on the ducks as they raced. We hope to see you all next year at the Boquet River Duck Derby.

To the Editor: I live in Port Henry, as does Sue McHone, whose letter supporting the dissolution of the Village of Port Henry was in the Saturday, June 18 issue of the Sun. I would like to offer reasons for supporting the keeping of the Village of Port Henry as balance for the McHone letter.

I did not grow up in Port Henry, but have been a part of and loved the village since the early 1970s. I cannot remember it as the lovely place Sue does.

I remember it first, as the lovely summer home I never wanted to leave and the joy I felt when I could remain here permanently.

True, it was great having such luxuries as a movie theater, but the truly important part of the village remains the same, its hillside of houses located on a lake, the people who live in the houses, having weathered the lost of their major source of income.

The greatest continuing wealth is just the fact of being a village, the only place where what you say has the most impact on your daily life. You can person-to-person discuss a problem with Ernie (your mayor) or Matt (your deputy mayor) or a trustee.

I respectfully disagree with Sue McHone. The past five years have brought a very real turn-around in not only the looks of the village, but costly infrastructural problems have been addressed and completed and other such projects are now in the work-stage.

We have had new businesses come in and prosper and others are on the verge of opening this summer.

Have there been setbacks� Yes, particularly when nature gets nasty or a disturbed person becomes an arsonist.

TAXES� If taxes are the basis on which you decide to drastically change your life, prepare yourself for the very real possibility of a grand disappointment, particularly if you own only one property.

More to the point is how will your day-to-day life change or could change� I personally wish to keep the village because, in the last five years, I have seen more positive progress in the village than I have seen in the township.

My understanding is that the town’s infrastructure may be worse than the village’s, if so I do not want to dissolve into the possibility of having to pay my share of large and costly infrastructural projects.

There are more mutually beneficial ways, than dissolution, for solving both the town’s and the village’s financial needs. Besides, I am always suspect of anything the state wants as badly as it does for all villages to vanish.

Sandra Lovell Village of Port Henry

Trump,Ê aÊ greatÊ president To the Editor: Trump has been right on many things this election cycle. We have too many illegals coming in with little to no skills. They are bringing diseases, some have a criminal history and they pose a serious security threat as Islamic terrorists seek to sneak in the back door.

Build that wall, Mr. Trump� He’s been courageous to emphasize Hillary Clinton’s criminal history over the past 40 years. It would be treasonous for a president not to see the signs and do nothing. But that’s exactly what Barack Obama has done. How many more attacks do we need to suffer before he regrets doing so little to protect the American people� I don’t think that day will ever come.

Trump is right about China and global trade, too. No more bad trade deals, no more manipulation of China’s currency without repercussions. He will do everything in his power to unleash the economic power in the U.S. We need to allow businesses to create, build, invent and imagine a brighter tomorrow.

We need to get off the backs of those small companies who are the engine of our economy. We need to encourage investment in great ideas. This will be done in a Trump Administration. And in order for all of this to take place a President Trump will restore and reinvigorate our military on the frontlines as well as taking care of our vets who need medical and psychological care.

He will be a great President� John Sharkey Ticonderoga

Newcomb Central graduates small, tight-knit group

By Christina Scanlon

christina@suncommunitynews.com

NEWCOMB — Nine graduates dressed in purple Saturday morning and awaited the start of the 2016 Newcomb Central School commencement ceremony.

They broke out into song, an impromptu smile-filled, made-up-as-they-went-along rendition that repeated the word “graduation” over and over.

“I’ve had 10 years with you,” said Superintendent of Schools Clark Hults, recalling his first year when most of the group was in third grade.

Saturday, two international students, Anh “Amy” Phuong Luong and Tuong “Caroline” Quang Dieu Ta, walked among them, to receive their Regents diplomas.

Patrick Kushi, having transferred to the school after the death of his father, Leo Kushi Jr. in March, also proudly earned a diploma.

Though different highs and lows may have brought the graduates to the same stage, they entered together, to pomp and circumstance and tear-filled eyes of some of those in attendance.

Luong delivered the international reflection, speaking to the sentiment that turned

strangers into family. “Don’t forget how welcome you’ll always be at Newcomb,” she said. “Don’t you say we’re in the middle of nowhere. We’re in the middle of the Adirondacks —the heart of Adirondacks. We’re in the middle of love,” said Luong.

Salutatorian Meghan O’Donnell recalled her early days at Newcomb, moving from the south in her middle school years. Most importantly what she learned, she said, “is how much this school truly cares about its students.”

The small school population, she said, afford opportunities for every student to be involved. O’Donnell’s experiences included a trip to Europe and next, a political science major at McGill University in Montreal.

Valedictorian Bethanie Viele spoke of those many choices provided by the district, in forming who they have become.

“It’s the sum of these from the different stages in our lives that have allowed us to grow into who we are today,” she said.

The group wrapped up their final appearance as Newcomb students the way they started the day, in song, singing to the audience once they’d received their awards and exiting the ceremony to Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’.”

Patrick Kushi poses at the grave of his father, Leo Kushi Jr., who passed in March. Kushi transferred into the district and received his diploma from Newcomb.

INDIAN LAKE — The Indian Lake Central School Gymnasium became center-stage for the gathering of family, friends and neighbors of the six members of the Class of 2016.

The six graduates, Benjamin Bird Hinckley, Steven William LaPrairie, Dominick Kendall Miller, Alexandra Kasey Mitchell, Noah Riley Pine and William James Walters, took their final walk as students June 25.

The graduation ceremonies began with the traditional and moving presentation of slides and music “summarizing” the lives and families of each of the individual graduates. This introduction was followed by the procession of the graduates.

Upon taking the stage, the graduates led all in attendance in the Pledge of Allegiance followed by a truly excellent rendition of the Star Spangled Banner by members of the ILCSD Concert Band.

This year’s valedictory was delivered by Noah Pine. His address focused on the means of measuring success.

Pine shared his personal measure of success, the achievement of goals in spite of obstacles. He defined his role models in this regard as Stu and Tim Pine, grandfather and father, respectively. Recounting his family history and the business founded by his grandfather and carried on by his dad, he summarized the lessons learned to be the achievement of success by taking risks and overcoming obstacles through hard work. Pine closed by saying that in terms of success, the achievements of his grandfather and father set the bar as to where he hopes to be someday.

Alexandra Kasey Mitchell and Benjamin Bird Hinckley performed the chosen senior song, Miranda Lambert’s “House That Built Me.” The Class of 2016 selected retiring thirrd grade teacher, Sue Norris, to be the Guest Speaker. Norris, in her address to the graduates, advised them to be open to a “grand venture” going forward. She offered examples of such an approach from her own life and how remaining open to change, being flexible and remaining curious will help one successfully navigate a world characterized by dynamic change and deliver a grand adventure of a life.

After the delivery of nearly 40 awards and their individual diplomas, the Class of 2016 exited the ceremony while the ILCS concert band played the Alma Mater “Orange and Black.”

They exited to celebrate their accomplishment with family, neighbors and friends. They exited to begin the next stage of the grand adventure we call life.

Car wash, bake sale to benefit church

Churches << Continued from | p. 1

O’Kane is opting to break up his schedule into four hours daily over six days starting Sunday, July 3 at noon at St. Isaac Jogues in Chestertown.

O’Kane hopes offering the sacrament over the Fourth of July weekend will result in more engagement from tourists and seasonal residents.

Gone are the days, at least in O’Kane’s diocese, when parishioners confessed their sins in whispering tones through wardrobe-type booths.

Discussions now take place face-to-face.

O’Kane, who became a priest in 2004, chalks declining church enrollment, in part, to a generational change and a tendency for the Church to be rigid in their thinking.

Catholics are also facing stiff competition from evangelicals, who often offer elaborate pageantry and live music with their services.

As such, Catholics are looking to take a page from their playbook. “We’re kind of thinking those things out,” O’Kane said.

Pope Francis, he said, is trying to galvanize younger people into attending services. He’s also pushing Catholics to focus on gospel values, like helping the poor, sick and marginalized populations.

“We get a little rigid sometimes, and I think we need to get back to the gospel,” O’Kane said. “All of our teaching should be based on one commandment, which is love” The program runs until July 9.

RECONCILIATION SCHEDULE Sunday, July 3: Noon to 4 p.m. in Chestertown (St. Isaac Jogues) Tuesday, July 5: 8 p.m. to midnight in Warrensburg (St. Cecilia’s) Thursday, July 7: Midnight to 4 a.m. in North Creek (St. James) Friday, July 8: 4 to 8 a.m. in Chestertown (St. Isaac Jogues)

Book

“It simmered below my subconscious for probably three years,” he said. “One day, I got up and started writing — I wrote it in 10 weeks. All of a sudden a lightbulb came on, and I couldn’t write it down fast enough.”

The book will officially be released with a launch party at the Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek on July 9. The program will feature a panel discussion between Pearsall and Paul Larson, a producer at Mountain Lake PBS. Online sales have been promising so far, Pearsall said, and the novel has already received high praise from at least one reviewer — Pearsall’s high school English teacher, who he hasn’t seen since 1967.

“It has been said that truth is often stranger than fiction,” Pearsall said. “I also think truth often also makes a better story.”

“Leaves Torn Asunder: A Novel of the Adirondacks and the American Civil War” (Pyramid Publishing, Utica) will be officially released at a special event at the Tannery Pond Community Center in North Creek on July 9 at 7 p.m.

conflict affected the small community, weaving a narrative that flits between Nobles Corners and the battlefields of Virginia.

Following the Battle of Fort Sumter in April 1861, visits from a Union Army recruiter heralded excitement for the young men in the settlement, who thought the war would be a grand adventure that would be over within months.

None had never been more than 15 miles from home. Few had given much thought about slavery. And most, if not all of them, had ever seen a black person until they marched south to head off the Confederate Army.

In fact, the newly-minted 22nd New York Volunteer Infantry were so green, they were astonished to learn of the existence of tides when arriving at New York Harbor.

Each of the main characters were based on actual people who lived in Johnsburg in the mid-1800s.

Pearsall brought them to life. Their mannerisms, thought processes and speaking evolved as the author dived into research materials, including diaries, letters, enlistment, cemetery and genealogical records.

“What impressed me the most was the strength not only of the men fighting for their

lives on the battlefield, but also the courage and sacrifice of the wives and parents left back home on their hardscrabble Adirondack farms,” Pearsall said.

The author also conducted extensive research on the historical benchmarks that

frame the novel, including the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and John Brown’s Raid in Kansas.

In fact, Pearsall, who runs a wealth management fund in Glens Falls as his day job, conducted two years of research before he even started to write.

Based on true events, Glenn Pearsall’s new book, “Leaves Torn Asunder: A Novel of the Adirondacks and the American Civil War,” chronicles the turmoil of the American Civil War in a small Adirondack town.
