A colorful portrait of a vanished time and a way of life filled
with many memorable characters. As a child in the 1930s, Spence
spent several summers on Upper Saranac Lake, over which his
imperious blue-blooded Kentucky grandfather presided. Using his
grandfather as a focal point, the author depicts the construction,
decor and lifestyle associated with the great camps. While his
grandfather indulged a life of patrician arrogance by recasting his
ancestors as Civil War heroes and cultivating the local elite, Bud,
the young scion of his line, took up more practical pursuits. His
tutor was the camp's handyman and erstwhile guide, an uncouth Swede
who relished profanity and waged daily battles with a tin boat.
