Passport Guides
Visit every town in the state, collect a stamp or signature in each one, and earn the patch. Part guidebook, part journal, part scavenger hunt.
Civilian Conservation Corps Camps
Four states, decades of research, and hundreds of interviews with the men who built the roads, trails, and parks we still use. Each volume covers camp history, memories, and legacy.
Fire Towers
The work that began it all, after a climb up Hunter Mountain in 1987. Over 100 observers, rangers, and their families interviewed, with photographs and stories from the summits.
Adirondack Stories
251 historical sketches from five years of weekly newspaper columns, drawn by Sam Glanzman of DC Comics and Outdoor Life. Collected in two volumes.
Autographed books make perfect gifts
Podskoch Press offers a variety of books about the history of the Adirondacks and Catskill regions.
The Adirondack Stories: Historical Sketches I & II tell interesting stories through the comic sketches of Sam Glanzman, well known DC Comics and Outdoor Life illustrator. The Fire Tower books tell photo-illustrated stories that Marty gathered while traveling throughout the region, which led to the development of his Adirondack CCC Camps book detailing the area's growth after the Great Depression. He has also written about the CCC camps in Connecticut, where he now lives.
There are also three travel guidebooks: The Adirondack 102 Club, The Connecticut 169 Club, and The Rhode Island 39 Club. These autographed books make perfect gifts for those who love the region's history.
