On Tuesday, October 6, 2026, at 7:00 p.m. we will talk with Curt Stager and David Kanietakeron Fadden will be in the store to discuss FIRST ADIRONDACKERS.

Join us in the children's section of the store OR email [email protected] for the Zoom link.

ABOUT THE BOOK| The First Adirondackers challenges the widespread, long-standing belief that the Adirondack uplands of northern New York were uninhabited before the arrival of European colonizers. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Through local indigenous traditions and supporting findings by natural science, authors David Fadden and Curt Stager expose, document, and honor the long human presence in the Adirondacks, helping not only to redefine what it means to be an Adirondacker, but also contributing to a more complete understanding of America itself.

Award-winning wildlife ecologist and bestselling author Anne LaBastille was a trailblazer in every sense of the word. Perhaps best known for her seminal wilderness book WOODSWOMAN, recounting her years spent living in a remote Adirondacks cabin, and which inspired countless women to shun societal dictates and pursue their passions, LaBastille railed against bureaucracy and patriarchy to become a powerful figure in environmentalism. ANNE LABASTILLE: BIOGRAPHY OF A WOODSWOMAN is the first ever biography of this powerful and polarizing woman who dedicated her life to preserving the natural world.
