This 1975 copy of the "Adirondack Canoe Waters North Flow" by Paul F. Jamieson, includes a chapter on camping by Robert N. Bliss.

Preface

"The purpose of this book is to restore part of the past.  A century ago the Adirondack region was the country's favorite resort for small-boat touring.  A network of waterways served as almost the only highways.  But the advent of paved roads and motorcars caused people to neglect and then to forget a large part of the resource that once aroused wonder in vacationing Americans.  As W.H.H. ("Adirondack") Murray wrote in 1869, "The novel and romantic peculiarity of this wilderness... is its marvelouis water communication... One can travel in a canoe or light boat for hundreds of miles in all directions through the forest."
