William Henry Harrison Murray ("Adirondack Murray") is known as the father of the outdoor movement in America and the modern vacation. A passionate advocate for the wilderness and, specifically, the Adirondacks in New York State, Murray was the author of numerous books from the 1860s until his death in the early twentieth century. Many of his books and short stories focused on the Adirondacks and the importance of human interaction with nature. For the first time, The Best of the Adirondack Tales gathers his best and most beloved stories, drawn from many sources and selected by Murray's biographer and great-great grandson, Randall S. Beach. Among the favorites included: "The Freemasonry of Outdoor Life," "Jack Shooting in a Foggy Night," "The Story that the Keg Told Me," "Henry Herbert's Thanksgiving," and "How John Norton the Trapper Kept His Christmas."
Two of W.H.H. “Adirondack” Murray’s legendary stories are paired in this charming reproduction of a book originally printed in 1897. Holiday Tales was hailed by critics of the era as America’s Christmas Carol. This classic collection of Adirondackia features beautiful woodblock illustrations and an inscription by Murray from 1898. Holiday Tales makes for the perfect cozy Christmastime read, alone or aloud, surrounded by loved ones gathered around a hearth. More than a century since its original publication, Murray’s timeless lessons and humble spirit still ring true today.
