New York State, Part III
A review of the history and natural characteristics of the northernmost frontier of New York State, once the land of the Iroquois and Algonquin-speaking native American tribes. Tug Hill Plateau, the Black River Basin and Adirondack Mountains today still preserve some wilderness characteristics that attract tourists, sportspersons and adventurers.
Included: some observations of Alexis de Tocqueville during stagecoach trip from Albany 1831.
