Under An Adirondack Influence
The Life of A. L. Byron-Curtiss
1871–1959
By William J. O'Hern and Roy E. Reehil
A great American experience. He first traveled to the Adirondacks
in 1892, at age 21, to take over a wilderness mission that changed
his life. During the next sixty years, spanning two world wars,
prohibition and the Great Depression, A. L. Byron-Curtiss wrote
about everything important to him: his family, his outdoor
adventures, the colorful North Country characters he befriended and
the tall tales they shared around a campfire. He wrote about nature,
history, folklore, conservation, philosophy, world affairs, his
greatest joys and most unnerving tragedies. He brought passion and
humor to all his endeavors, as a father, a fisherman, a preacher, a
drinker, a social activist and a scofflaw. Through all his life, the
unofficial "Bishop of North Lake" displayed an unshakable faith,
uncommon wisdom, and an everlasting love for life in the
Adirondacks.
