COLLECTED WRITINGS OF MARY MacKENZIE EDITED BY LEE MANCHESTER For many, many years Mary MacKenzie, official historian of the Adirondack town of North Elba and the village of Lake Placid, New York, cherished the dream of writing a comprehensive history of her home community. She began work on the project in the early 1960s. By the time she died in 2003, however, her dream had not been realized. MacKenzie’s family recruited local author Lee Manchester to serve as the historian’s literary executor, combing through the files Mary had transferred to the Lake Placid Public Library and gathering as many of her magazine and newspaper articles, letters, lectures and unpublished essays as possible. The resulting volume is a close facsimile of the sweeping, comprehensive history MacKenzie had so long envisioned. In 2008, “The Plains of Abraham” won the Adirondack Literary Awards’ first-ever Special Appreciation Award, given at the annual program in Blue Mountain Lake. According to one of the judges, the unique award was bestowed in recognition of the book’s long-term importance to Adirondack literature: “This is more than just an important book for this year. People will be reading and appreciating this book 100 years from now. Adirondack Park residents and visitors owe Manchester a great debt of gratitude for this extraordinary project.” “The Plains of Abraham” was first published by Nicholas K. Burns Publishing of Utica, New York, in 2007. Shortly after the book’s launch, however, the publisher went out of business. To ensure that this treasure trove of public history continues to be available to the community for which it was created, the Lake Placid Public Library has reissued the book in a new, print-on-demand edition. It is one of the five volumes compiled as part the Mary MacKenzie Project, all of which are available from the project’s online storefront (http://stores.LuLu.com/MaryMacKenzie).]]>

“The Plains of Abraham: A History of North Elba and Lake Placid — Collected Writings of Mary MacKenzie” was published in 2007 by Nicholas K. Burns Publishing, a one-man publishing house in Utica, New York. When the book finally went to press, much of the material gathered from the late Mrs. MacKenzie’s files by editor Lee Manchester had to be put aside to keep the volume from becoming too big to print; even so, “The Plains of Abraham” ran to more than 400 pages in length. Rather than leave completely aside the rest of the material that had been edited for “The Plains of Abraham,” Manchester decided to make it available in a small, paperback edition.

Plenty of books have been written about hiking the heavily traveled trails of New York’s Adirondack Park. This is not one of them. “Adventures in the New Wilderness” contains essays on the exploration of some little-known paths in the High Peaks region of Essex County — the ancient, abandoned road between Wilmington and Lake Placid; the old trails around Placid Lake, rarely used by anyone anymore; the tracks up Essex County’s lonely fire-tower mountains, where you’ll find some of the most spectacular (but least known) views of the High Peaks; and journeys into the cold, pristine world of the Adirondack woods in winter.

“Adirondack Heritage” is an anthology of stories about the history and historic sites of the Adirondacks, especially Essex County, by former Lake Placid News writer Lee Manchester. The collection is laid out in five sections. “The Historic Olympic Region” focuses on two towns united by the Winter Olympic Games of 1932 and 1980: Lake Placid and Wilmington. “Historic Essex County & Beyond” covers the Town of Jay and seven other Essex County communities, a scattering of one-room schoolhouses, and a dozen historic and cultural sites. “Adirondac” looks at the 19th century iron-mining ghost town in the Town of Newcomb alternately known as "the Deserted Village," Tahawus, the Upper Works, McIntyre, or Adirondac. “Historic Preservation, Adirondack-Style” highlights the work of Adirondack Architectural Heritage, dedicated to preserving and interpreting the historic architecture of the Adirondacks. “John Brown’s Farm & The Underground Railroad” tells the tale of North Elba’s own John Brown, the radical abolitionist who met his fate in Harper’s Ferry. It also debunks various misbegotten tales about “Timbuctoo,” North Elba’s famous Black colony, and John Brown’s supposed Underground Railroad station in North Elba.

On the morning of January 1, 2002, the wrecking ball swung into the brick exterior of the Agora Wing, the last surviving vestige of the old Lake Placid Club. As the Club came down, memories arose across the North Country of its former grandeur, its role in creating winter sport and two Olympic Winter Games, and its place as the employer of thousands of area residents. People also recalled its long slide downhill, beginning during the Depression, and ending in 1980 in United States Bankruptcy Court. This book retells the story of the Lake Placid Club, as it appeared in a series written for the Lake Placid News and the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.

On the morning of January 1, 2002, the wrecking ball swung into the brick exterior of the Agora Wing, the last surviving vestige of the old Lake Placid Club. As the Club came down, memories arose across the North Country of its former grandeur, its role in creating winter sport and two Olympic Winter Games, and its place as the employer of thousands of area residents. People also recalled its long slide downhill, beginning during the Depression, and ending in 1980 in United States Bankruptcy Court. This book retells the story of the Lake Placid Club, as it appeared in a series written for the Lake Placid News and the Adirondack Daily Enterprise.
