BOOK SIGNING - Date To Be Announced for late Summer

with Indian Givers authors Romey Gallo and Wayne Martin

 

In 1974, Moss Lake became part of Native American cultural history with the Mohawk Indians occupation of a former Girls Camp in the Adirondack Mountains. The incursion was elevated to the attention of the United Nations. The three year occupation involved bloodshed, shootings, harassment, and political turmoil. Unfortunately little was known about the non-indian victims of this situation until this book was written. The authors, both New York State Police Sergeants at the time, were directly involved in the situation and were eyewitnesses to true history.

Both authors grew up in upstate New York and had very similar lives and careers, while helping to raise their families. During their careers as troopers, both became Station Commanders and Liaison Officers to the State office of Disaster Preparedness, training that would help them in averting another Wounded Knee or Waco - like disaster at Moss Lake.

About the book: While living far from civilization at "Cold River City—Population one," Noah John Rondeau, the original Adirondack Hermit, wrote daily diary entries to document his experience. To conceal incriminating information from "snooping game protectors" he developed an enigmatic code that was said to resemble the "footprints of an inebriated hen." In 1946, Rondeau wrote his entire journal in code, making it the most mysterious of all. Attempts to break the code all ended in failure until David Greene discovered a key and shared his findings with author William J. O’Hern.

Noah John Rondeau’s Adirondack Wilderness Days—A Year with the Hermit of Cold River Flow, tells the story of how the code was broken and then reveals the real story of a fun-loving hermit thriving in the wilderness. In addition to Rondeau’s decoded journal entries, letters, photographs and reminiscences from friends who visited him complete the story of the misunderstood recluse.

Why did Noah create the code? What secrets does it contain? Learn the answers in Noah John Rondeau’s Adirondack Wilderness Days.

The Wildlife Art Ventures of Tom Yacovella
by Tom Yacovella
8.5" x 11" - 48 pages - 30 Paintings and Sculpture
Paper - $29.95

Yacovella's paintings treat the viewer to real wildlife dramas he has observed in the field. His detailed illustrations tell stories of the subjects' moods and postures, ranging from predator and prey behavior, to the intimate moments of courting and parenting. Each image is accompanied by his firsthand account of the rare moment in nature he has witnessed and depicted on canvas.

Also featured is a section on Yacovella's extraordinary sculpture, "Tribute to the Whitetail," the full-size, lifelike figure of a whitetail buck he crafted from over 300 naturally shed antlers.

The first part of the book traces the events of Yacovella's life that led him from an orphanage in Utica, to success in the advertising world, to ultimately realizing his dream of becoming a full-time wildlife artist.

The book's subtitle, "Keep Looking for a Bluebird," references Yacovella's watercolor of the same name that has won four major international art awards. "It also reflects my hope that the publication will inspire those who read it," Yacovella explains.

"Besides learning things about nature and animal behavior that perhaps they didn't know, I hope readers will be uplifted by the book's underlying message that no matter how the odds might seem to be stacked against you, by persevering and staying focused you can achieve your goal."
