Many of Noah John Rondeaus journals were written in
an indecipherable code that was said to resemble the "footprints of an inebriated
hen." With the code now broken, the contents of Rondeau's mysterious 1946 journal are
finally revealed in Noah John Rondeau's Adirondack Wilderness Days. The decoded entries
form a timeline through which we get to know the real "Hermit of Cold River."
This is the story of Noah's everyday life, the wilderness he observed, the game he took,
the wood he chopped and the people he encountered. In addition to Noah's journal entries,
letters and reminiscences from friends who visited him at his hermitage provide
adventuresome context and a sense of how much they loved and respected him. Learn about
Noahs secret code, the reasons he created it and what secrets it contains. |
