PRIMARY COVERAGE AREA: Old Forge, NY; Thendara, NY

About the author

Generations have called it paradise-a land of pristine lakes, forested trails, abundant wildlife, and friendly people-and from those generations come the authors, with backgrounds that include historic preservation and museum administration. The grandfather of authors Linda and Sarah Cohen arrived in Old Forge in the late 1890s with a peddler's pack on his back and, in 1900, opened the Old Forge Hardware, known today as the Adirondacks' Most General Store. Town of Webb Historian Peg Masters is a descendant of John Merritt of Brandon, who worked in the early logging industry at Big Moose and McKeever.
