New book looks at role of Adirondack legend Alvah Dunning in park history

Before the Adirondacks became a protected wilderness, they were an eastern frontier of hunters, guides, squatters and land barons—a world with the conflict and ambition readers associate with the Wild West. After five years of research, David L. Jones has completed “His Woods,” a narrative biographical history of Alvah G. Dunning, the legendary guide known as the Hermit of Raquette Lake. Under contract with SUNY Press’s Excelsior Editions since early 2025, Jones expects publication in late 2027.

As we close for the season after a successful year commemorating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, we’d love to highlight one of the partnerships that made it all possible: our collaboration with Vermont State University Castleton and the Clinton County Historical Association! Thanks to a grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership, the Museum team worked together with these two fine institutions to scan, print, and display 3D printed versions of the cannon which exploded aboard the Patriot gunboat New York on October 11, 1776.

Book Review: ‘Alice Sees Ghosts,’ Daisy Rockwell

Can haunting be benevolent? That’s the question posed by Alice Sees Ghosts, the second novel from Bennington author, visual artist and translator Daisy Rockwell. Despite its Halloween-adjacent U.S. release date, the book is more comedy of manners than horror tale. But it does evoke an eerie sense that everything we do is haunted by the specters of our forebears.
