Noah John Rondeau's Adirondack Wilderness Days:
A Year with the Hermit of Cold River Flow
by William J. O'Hern
About the book:
While living far from civilization at "Cold River City - Population
one," Noah John Rondeau, the original Adirondack Hermit, wrote daily
diary entries to document his experience. To conceal incriminating
information from "snooping game protectors" he developed an
enigmatic code that was said to resemble the "footprints of an
inebriated hen." In 1946, Rondeau wrote his entire journal in code,
making it the most mysterious of all. Attempts to break the code all
ended in failure until David Greene discovered a key and shared his
findings with author William J. O'Hern.
Noah John Rondeau's Adirondack Wilderness Days - A Year with the Hermit of Cold River Flow, tells
the story of how the code was broken and then reveals the real story
of a fun-loving hermit thriving in the wilderness. In addition to
Rondeau's decoded journal entries, letters, photographs and
reminiscences from friends who visited him complete the story of the
misunderstood recluse.
Why did Noah create the code? What
secrets does it contain? Learn the answers in Noah John Rondeau's
Adirondack Wilderness Days.
