North Country Books – författare

Four Upstate New York researchers have compiled a book of Bigfoot sightings primarily in the Adirondacks. Witnesses include police officers, farmers, and prominent business people.

This collection contains both true stories, and some which are simply folklore; a bit of trivia about North Country animals, places, and things is also included. It is the product of past historians, the media, and persons living or dead, who have been willing to share their stories and memories passed on to them from past generations.

The New York State Barge Canal was opened on May 15, 1915. This is the history of the people who built the canal and who operated tugs and barges along this important water route through New York State.

Another fascinating compilation of true ghost stories and spirit encounters from around the North Country region. Cheri Farnsworth has done it again, weaving unbelievable bits of Northern New York history into these new chilling accounts of ghostly encounters and deftly illustrating the very personal nature of encounters with the spirits of deceased loved ones in this admirable follow-up to her best-selling book, "Haunted Northern New York."

In this incredibly detailed work, Dr. Swanner has given us a geological, sociological and industrial history of a unique area of New York State, Saratoga Springs. The reader learns the location and mineral content of each of the springs, gets a look at New York State's attempts at conservation and at its public health policies. The author is a former medical consultant to the Spa.

When it comes to understanding the dead, there is something unusual about the Hudson Valley; so many ghost stories have come out of this region. Some have become a part of our national lore such as Washington Irving’s retelling of the legends about Rip Van Winkle and Sleepy Hollow. Most, however, have remained in the Valley where they have been retold from generation to generation. Ghosts in Residence is a collection of stories told by – and in many cases, witnessed by – renown photographer H.A. von Behr during his time living in the Hudson Valley.The intimate stories have, since the original publication of this book, become classics in the region and taken on a legendary quality all their own. The book also includes original black and white photographs taken by von Behr of the houses, graves, and people featured within. From the hauntings of dilapidated country manors and castles, unexplained phenomena along the Valley hillsides, and strange apparitions found lingering within ancient Quaker cemeteries, this collection of stories reveals the otherworldly legacy of the Hudson Valley as a place of ancient spirits.
