Lake George
Images of America Series
by Gale J. Halm & Mary H. Sharp
Pioneer photographers
Senaca Ray Stoddard and Jesse Sumner Wooley, along with other local professional and
amateur photographers, visually recorded life at Lake George around the beginning of the
twentieth century. With artistic clarity and astuteness, they created a pictorial diary of
this well-known resort area, as our grandparents and great-grandparents would have known
it.
Many of the nearly two hundred images in Lake George have rarely been seen before and
serve as more than a road map through the area's past. They capture life at natural
moments. The clothing, the modes of transportation, and the recreation that were once
quite common appear in page after page of breathtaking photographs and brilliant
narrative.
This pictorial history explores the bays and byways of the lake, its year-round
residents, and the vacationers who made it their temporary home every summer. Replete with
images of moments, hideaways, and people that no longer exist, Lake George is a new
experience in an old familiar place.
