BEARS, BIBLES AND A BOY


Bears Bibles and a Boy has its roots in the Adirondacks, and specifically on Brant Lake. Its author, Jesse David Roberts, describes the book as "Memories of the Adirondacks". It has been a favorite of Pilgrim Camp for many years. Copies of the book are rare. Since copyright laws permit reproduction, we offer it for the pleasure and blessing of all.
