Produktbeschreibung
From 1859 to the present, the name Paul Smiths has meant different things to visitors and residents of the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York. In the 19th century, the name was synonymous with a grand hotel on the shores of Lower St. Regis Lake and the wilderness guide who was its founder. In the early 20th century, the hotel business expanded to include land sales, a railroad, a telephone company, and the Paul Smithas Electric Power and Light Company, which became the first electric provider in the region. After World War II, Paul Smithas College was founded to provide quality liberal arts and technical associate-level degrees to returning veterans and recent high school graduates. Today Paul Smithas College attracts students from across America to the only baccalaureate-degree-granting institution in the six-million-acre Adirondack Park.
