Adirondack French Louie – Paperback

Adirondack French Louie – Early Life in the North Woods
by Harvey Dunham

Harvey Dunham’s Adirondack French Louie has become an Adirondack classic. Louie Seymour was the prototype of all the Adirondack woodsman – a hunter -trapper – fisherman – guide – lumberman and on days when he brought his furs to Newton’s Corners (now Speculator), a happy, roaring drunk. Above all else, Louie was a rugged individualist. Dunham captures the spirit of the wild, virgin Adirondacks as few other contemporary writers have. This is the story of the settling of the southern Adirondacks as seen through Louie’s interesting life story. Adirondack French Louie belongs on everyone’s Americana bookshelf.
