Hi,
  I think I have a booklet, but could not find it. Who is the grandfather? Did you look at Stoddard booklets? The State Museum just did an exhibit.
I'll keep looking.
Sincerely,

  Hi Everyone,

  I have a friend looking for the source of this article. I don't know where it came from and thought perhaps one or more of you might recognize it.

  Remember when we talked about the article about my great grandfather's hotel in Chain Lakes? I have copies of an article about the prices, dates, and menus at the hotel, but I cannot find out what magazine or book the info is from. 
   
  It states:  "Tucked away in such a remote part of the Adirondacks, that few persons know of its existence is one of the most beautiful and picturesque places in the mountains.  "Seven Chain Lakes" is situated in Hamilton County nine miles north of tIndian Lake village, and twenty-seven miles from North Creek, the nearest railroad station, consisting of, as the name implies, a connecting chain of lakes, and within from 1/4 to 3 miles of which ten other lakes and ponds all accessible by mountains".  '
  The article goes on to talk about the seasons for hunting and fishing, and ends with: "The rarity of the atmosphere insures absolute freedon to hay fever patients, but special request is made that no one suffering from pulmonary trouble apply for accommondation."
  There is also a page listing a menu, camp prices and boat rentals.
