When settlers entered the Adirondack Mountains, they showed up in sleighs or wagons with infants wedged between crockery, blankets, axes, and rifles. Through Indian ambushes and across rivers they came from the east and south. A broken runner or wheel, or natural clearing, dictated their destination. They spit on their palms, felled the forests, and built the cabins, mills, dams, farms, and forges. Between bouts of backbreaking labor they named their settlements and surrounding features. "With an Ax and a Rifle" delivers thrilling history to anyone who's ever wondered, Who got to the Adirondacks first?
