Starbuck<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As we move into the holidays, here is a book that would make a great gift.<\/p>\n<p>While numerous books have been written about the great camps, hiking trails, and wildlife of the Adirondacks, noted anthropologist David R. Starbuck offers the only archeological guide to a region long overlooked by archeologists who thought that \u201call the best sites\u201d were elsewhere. This beautifully illustrated volume focuses on the rich and varied material culture brought to the mountains by their original Native American inhabitants, along with subsequent settlements created by soldiers, farmers, industrialists, workers, and tourists. Starbuck examines Native American sites on Lake George and Long Lake; military and underwater sites throughout the Lake George, Fort Ticonderoga, and Crown Point regions; old industrial sites where forges, tanneries, and mines once thrived; farms and the rural landscape; and many other sites, including the abandoned Frontier Town theme park, the ghost town of Adirondac, Civilian Conservation Corps camps, ski areas, and graveyards.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books\/about\/Archeology_in_the_Adirondacks.html?id=fZRUDwAAQBAJ&amp;printsec=frontcover&amp;source=kp_read_button#v=onepage&amp;q&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\">To read a preview look here.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.upne.com\/1512602623.html\" target=\"_blank\">To purchase from the publisher go here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Archeology in the Adirondacks by David R.
