Our Daily Dead

Pack a bag, jump in the car, then drive just a short ways and you’ll find yourself in the hills that Barbara McMartin described in her books. Well, a short drive if you live in Montreal, Boston, Syracuse, West Chazy, Potsdam, Owls Head, Ste Clotilde De Chateauguay, or perhaps even New York City.

The Adirondack Mountains Wikipedia tells us do not form a connected range like the Appalachians, but rather are a serious of 46 peaks isolated or in small groups. Geologists would further tell you that the Adirondacks are not geologically related to the Appalachians, but rather pertain geologically to the Laurentian Mountains of Canada. And lest we forget the Adirondacks are also home to that lake where some sporting types gathered in yonder past days: Lake Placid

And if you’re scouring for another interesting read with a slight tie try E.L. Doctorow’s Loon Lake.

Or you could just stay home, order up a new Adirondack chair and do a bit of surfing over to the Genesis Publications books page. You’ll find books about Pink Floyd, The Beatles, Bob Marley, The Who, Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie and Ravi Shankar. You’ll also find a few you might not have expected. And remember to thank Brian Roylance as he was the publisher at Genesis.

Remember: “Place your clothes and weapons where you can find them in the dark.” ~ Lazarus Long
