My other grandmother who came though Ellis Island from southern France and lived on
4th Lake, Old Forge, Adirondacks. All groceries and mail came by steam-boat. These
photos taken 1924. In an around the cabin. Note: One of the women working there later
became a famous US movie actress (Claudette Colbert). Another French girl. Grandma
3rd to the right in first photo.

Same Old Forge cabin when I finally located it in 1999. I got to strip it just before it got
demolished by a new owner. Inside and out.

to have it's own small gauge railroad to get logs in and out.

Source of the Hudson River that runs all the way to New York City. Hard to believe when
you hike up there and see it. Teddy Roosevelt hiked up there also. Over 4000 feet up.
