Review Quotes: I'd love to see this important book be required reading for every New York State legislator and opinion-maker. Alive with personal voices, it is also packed with vital information and at times justifiably angry at what we human beings have done to the Adirondacks. It reminds us of what we've lost, of what we can still save, and of what a rare treasure this extraordinary region is.-- "Adam Hochschild, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of King Leopold's Ghost: A Story of Greed, Terror, and Heroism in Colonial Africa"
