Adirondack Hermits : Experts in Social Distancing
Label:
Dunning settled in Blue Mountain Lake in the late 1850s. After feuding with Ned Buntline, writer of dime novels, he moved to Raquette Lake in 1865 and began working summers as a guide. He said of his clients: "They pay me well enough, but I'd rather they stayed out of my woods. They come, and I might as well guide them as anybody, but I'd rather they stay to home and keep their money…They're mostly darned fools, anyhow."
