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.
