Under An Adirondack Influence
The Life of A. L. Byron-Curtiss -
1871-1959
by William J. O'Hern and Roy E. Reehil
An intriguing account that is hard to put down as the complex
character of A. L. Byron-Curtiss unfolds. Through many facets and
contradictions, Byron-Curtiss reveals himself through his writings:
a Reverend with an independent sense of justice, a story-teller with
an endearing sense of humor, a brilliant writer with a sharp pen,
and a lover of the Adirondacks who spent years exploring, fishing
and hunting in the wilderness. He was as comfortable with
lumberjacks and guides as he was among Bishops and businessmen. His
sense of humor and personal flaws make him a sympathetic personality
grappling with life during world war, prohibition and the Great
Depression. If you love Adirondack folklore, you'll love this book.
