Re: [at-l] Re: [pct-l] Good News
James -
Old Nesmuk was an Adirondack Guide. I have seen many books that include
biographical info on him in stores in the Adirondacks (Northern NY State).
My guess is that if you find a book about the early European settlement of
the ADKs you will find info about Old Nesmuk.
As we many historical figures he sounds like he was quite a character!
