North Words: Surveying Adirondack Park

On the latest edition of North Words, we learn about the two men who pioneered the work of surveying the Adirondack Park. The work of Verplanck Colvin and Mills Blake is still important today. Plus, a compelling new novel by bestselling author Tracey Lange is set in the North Country. We’ll hear about how she portrays the soul – and the geography – of Potsdam so well. And it’s the 25th anniversary of a series of adventure books for young readers, set in the Adirondacks. From North Creek to South Colton, from Old Forge to New Bremen, North Words host Mitch Teich brings you interviews, on-site recordings, and special features that remind us what makes the North Country region so special. WCNY Community FM is pleased to present this monthly show from our colleagues at North Country Public Radio.
