For anyone who knows and loves Lake George, particularly those who have camped on the lake or are contemplating a camping trip to the lake this book is must reading. Frank Leonbruno has woven a history of the lake with his extensive personal experiences to create a sensitive and loving account of Lake George. As a result of his 42 years of faithful and caring stewardship as a ranger on Lake George, his proactive response to its environment, and now the recording of his reflections, Mr. Leonbruno has made himself a part of the history of Lake George.

Bought this book for my history-loving husband that spent many summers at camp in the Lake George area. He read it within a week, and commented each evening how much he was enjoying the history, stories and recommended the book to me.

We'll be well read on our trips there in the spring - so much of the lure of Lake George was coming through in the book and I look forward to bringing the stories of the lake to life on our trip.

I enjoyed this book very much. I camped on the islands of Lake George with my parents when I was a child and later on in life with my own children. I knew the author personnaly as he would make sure we got the same campsite every year. Later in life after my dad passed my mother married a gentleman who had a summer home on Lake George and also spent a lot of time there. I have 4 different books on Lake George.
