This is the story of several typical New York State shortlines, reprinted and updated from the 1978 edition. The life of a shortline railroad is precarious. A line paying handsome dividends one day can be out of business the next if its prize customer closes up shop. Of the railroads in this history, only one remains today-the Lowville and Beaver River Railroad. This book is a joint effort by Keith Maloney, William Gove, Richard Allen, and Richard Palmer, all of whom devoted many hours in extensive research. Great railroad book-great Adirondack book!

The St. Croix River, the free-flowing boundary between Wisconsin and Minnesota, is a federally protected National Scenic Riverway. The area’s first recorded human inhabitants were the Dakota Indians, whose lands were transformed by fur trade empires and the loggers who called it the “river of pine.” A patchwork of farms, cultivated by immigrants from many countries, followed the cutover forests. Today, the St. Croix River Valley is a tourist haven in the land of sky-blue waters and a peaceful escape for residents of the bustling Minneapolis–St. Paul metropolitan region. North Woods River is a thoughtful biography of the river over the course of more than three hundred years. Eileen McMahon and Theodore Karamanski track the river’s social and environmental transformation as newcomers changed the river basin and, in turn, were changed by it. The history of the St. Croix revealed here offers larger lessons about the future management of beautiful and fragile wild waters.
