Adirondacks' - Moose River Plains: Life Around the Indian Clearing

By William J O'Hern

A comprehensive informal history about the early Moose River Plains--once referred to as the Indian Clearing. The Plains' natural beauty makes up only one color of the territory. The Indian Clearing focuses on the first surveyors; a team of women naturalists; the pioneering Kenwell family; the restoration of beaver in the south branch; an influential lieutenant governor of New York state; a cheese-making industrialist who began the Kraft Cheese Company; a car-wheel millionaire and owner of Beaver Lake; legendary woodsman Gerald Kenwell's popular Otter Brook hunting and fishing camp; numerous camp caretakers and native guides; and more. Until now, there has been no recognized recorded work about this popular remote territory.
