Book excerpt: As early as the 19th century, fabled names-the likes of Rockefeller and Vanderbilt-retreated into New York's remote Adirondack Mountains. Within the lake-rich, old-growth seclusion, they erected big-beamed lodges (now termed Great Camps), the flagships of rustic luxury in New York's northern terrain-a culture of back-to-nature architecture and sylvan summers. This volume contains 200 vintage images of those famed accommodations that catered to years of Adirondack visitors. Most of the buildings seen in this book no longer exist, having been destroyed by fires, the wrecking ball, or simply forgotten over time. Adirondack Hotels and Inns provide a timeless look at the vacation retreats of the past.
