Lake George Reflections: Island History and Lore

In Lake George Reflections Frank Leonbruno has recounted his experience of forty-two years as a New York State ranger on Lake George from 1941 to 1983, the last ten years as Supervisor of Lake George Operations. This book is manifold and is based on Leonbruno's own reminiscences, conversations with Lake George area natives and campers, and his own research into historical documents. It relates the history of individual islands-- both private and state owned. The book addresses important environmental issues, specifically focusing on the severe erosion which is occurring on many of the islands. Not only is Lake George Reflections an important book for everyone who knows and loves the lake, and a wonderful introduction for all others, it is the definitive book on camping on the Lake George islands.
