Scope and Contents
Mounted in traditional oblong albums with black pages, these photos document half
a century of hiking, tenting, hunting and fishing in the Adirondacks, along with some
domestic views in Schuylerville, and some vacation shots. There is considerable identification:
year of shot, place, some people. Some other items such as obituaries are tipped in.
The fourth album is primarily of family members.
