February 23rd: SHARP SWAN For the past twenty-five years Sharp Swan has been looking for the last vestiges of the Santa Clara Lumber Company in one of the most isolated areas of the Adirondacks. Starting from the end of the nineteenth century, for more than thirty years, the Santa Clara Lumber Company logged some of the highest, roughest, and rockiest terrain in the Adirondack mountains. When the company dissolved in 1926 after New York State bought their land, they left hundreds of miles of roads, dozens of logging camps in various states of disrepair and lumberjack paraphernalia everywhere. This is the story, told mostly by pictures taken by the President of the Santa Clara Company and Sharp Swan, of that business as they tried to tame the wilderness in one of the most remote areas of the Adirondacks.
