Adirondack writer and storyteller Fran Yardley dug deep into Adirondack and family histories in her new book, "Finding True North - A History of One Small Corner of the Adirondacks." In 1968, she and her husband, Jay, moved to a remote corner of the Adirondacks to revive the long-abandoned but historic Bartlett Carry Club - a 1,000-acre summer resort.

The Saranac Lake-area property had been in Jay's family for generations, and their dream was to restore it to support their growing family. Fran Yardley chronicles their journey and, along the way, unearths the history of those who came before, from the 1800s to the present.
