Noah John Rondeau's Adirondack Wilderness Days
A Year With the Hermit of Cold River Flow

by William J. O’Hern
6 x 9 – 336 pages – Photos – Index – Map
Cloth – $32.95 – ISBN 0-9743943-7-8

Many of Noah John Rondeau’s 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 Noah’s secret code, the reasons he created it and what secrets it contains.
