Ellen Apperson Brown is the grand-niece of John Apperson, who drove the wilderness conservation movement in New York State through the first half of the 20th century. After fighting key battles to maintain the "forever wild" clause of the state constitution, he enlisted Paul Schaefer in the effort in 1931 and continued to play an instrumental role in defending the Adirondacks against the encroachment of commercial and industrial interests. We'll explore with Ellen key chapters in Apperson's life, including the fight he led against illegal "squatters" around Lake George, his defeat of Robert Moses's plan to build a highway around Tongue Mountain and his successful lobbying of FDR to expand the Adirondack Park by one million acres.
Paul Schaefer's "Adirondack - The Land Nobody Knows"
It took Schaefer eight years to make this film. He started it a year after completing "Of Rivers and Men" and premiered it at the Egg on February 9, 1980. To shoot it, he engaged two accomplished cinematographers, Walter Haas and Edwin Niedhammer. Noel Riedinger-Johnson wrote the script and edited the five miles of film they shot. The film won a Cine Eagle Award and was chosen to represent the United States in international film competitions.

A Civic Conversation with Wayne LaMothe
I fell in love with this land
I live downstate in the Catskills, but have spent many, many days in the north country and Adirondacks. Beautiful country.
I’ve hiked hundreds of miles there. Solo northville to lake placid multiple times. I don’t live there but it’s where I feel home.
The miles I’ve covered in the Dacks. My happy place.
No life jackets? Especially in the Gorge!
As a somewhat local, its so cool to see old footage of the Adirondacks knowing that it looks overwhelmingly the same today.
Thank you for sharing this footage and the informations about this beautiful realm and place of nature, with the rest of the world.. 😊
