Product Description

Sid Whelan has been transcribing the diaries of Arpad Gerster since 1990. Arpad Gerster was a Hungarian surgeon who emigrated to the United States in the 1870s. A man of extraordinary interests and powers of observation, he was a linguist, musician, artist, traveler, writer, in addition to conducting an exemplary career in medicine. His diaries chronicling his visits to the Adirondacks (Raquette and Long Lakes) from 1895 to the early 1900s are a unique and exceptionally vivid and astute record of the region in that time period. Softcover. 188 pages. 2005.
