Campbell, Thomas Wilson, Fred Hodges and Harvey Selden from Rome and Harold Johnson from Prospect, who took a two week canoe trip in the Adirondack Lake Region, up through the Fulton Chain and Tupper Lake in 1897 Ampersand Mountain - This is an article written by Henry J. Van Dyke for the June - December issue of Harper's Magazine in 1885 Savage Times - a story about a found skeleton along the banks of the Raquette River and a Man named Joe Downs The John McConnell Story - He was the first editor of the Tupper Lake Herald in 1896 The First Tupper Laker - The civil was veteran Horatio Nelson Shene purchased the first piece of property in the new Village of Tupper lake "Uncle Mart" - Mart Moody of Tupper Lake was the premier Adirondack Storyteller between 1860 - 1910 "Fishers of Men in The Wilderness" - An article written by Ellen Osborn for the Watertown Herald on September 12 1896 "The Philosopher's Lament" - Men once thought that wilderness needed to be domesticated, tamed of its wildness, defoliated and made into factories and farms. It was God’s work, so not many questioned it. Except for a group of New England pundits, who in 1858, from the staid confines of Cambridge and Boston decided to amuse themselves with a trek to the Adirondacks and left us memories worthy of our lament.
