In Stoddard’s Footsteps: The Adirondacks Then & Now
Mark
Bowie & Timothy Weidner Hardcover & softcover, 144 pagesIn a career spanning the settling of the Adirondack wilderness,
the heyday of the guide, the steamship, and the grand hotel,
pioneer photographer Seneca Ray Stoddard produced more than
8,000 images of the evolving landscape — the largest
documentary record of late nineteenth century life in the
region. More than a century later, Mark Bowie literally followed
in his footsteps, faithfully re-photographing the exact
locations of many of his classic images. The results are
fascinating, sometimes surprising, in every case, illuminating.
