Great Camps of the Adirondacksby Harvey H. Kaiser
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Now in its sixth printing, we are pleased to reissue once again this valuable and beloved guide to the "Great Camps" (which can also read as "Mansions in the Woods") of the Adirondacks. It was to this region that the rich and famous at the turn of the century repaired (generally in their private railroad cars) after spending July in their Newport "cottages." And nowhere are the exuberant glories of rustic vernacular architecture more happily displayed than in these rambling and inventive homes. Made entirely of native materials, they served as brief and luxurious summer palaces for "sports" pretending to be "roughing it" while really sitting in the lap of rural luxury. The interior and exterior photographs of Harvey Kaiser are exquisite and each "camp" is fully described in both its architectural and social context. Synopsis:Discusses the techniques involved in capturing the moods and poses of the various feline breeds. Synopsis:The author does a thorough job in explaining the beginnings of rustic architecture and why it has a permanent place in the culture. The mix of social background and the history of the early Adirondack camps provides a designers guidebook. What Our Readers Are SayingBe the first to add a comment for a chance to win!Product Details
