Summary:

"A rewritten and revised edition of the original Great Camps of the Adirondacks originally published by Godine in 1984. In this edition, Kaiser defines "Adirondack Rustic Style" as an influential aesthetic movement in architecture and describes its development in the Adirondack region, particularly in the "Great Camps", often large rustic retreats built and maintained by the wealthy. He charts their development and recent efforts to restore, preserve, and re-imagine these historic camps"-- Provided by publisher.
