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.
