Chronicles of Lake George is composed of diary entries and historical accounts written by individuals who describe their thoughts on seeing Lake George for the first time. With descriptions from 1749 to 1914, its very interesting historical reading. You'll have a much better understanding of the history of Lake George after reading this book.

So significant to American history and yet so little known! The history of the war route known as Lake George and its later role in tourism and conservation as told through eyewitness journals. Full of interesting stories, illustrations and great pictures. You don't need to be a history buff to enjoy this book. Lake George is still a wild and beautiful place and "Chronicles" enhances the lake's mystique for the reader.

I'm enjoying reading this book and am learning all sorts of neat things about an area I love visiting. Since at the time I last studied the French and Indian wars I'd never even been to NY, it has a fresh relevance to me.

When you purchase it, however, be sure and purchase detailed maps for the region between Montreal and Quebec and south to Albany. The tiny map at the beginning of the book does little to orient anyone not already intimately familiar with the area.
