Description
In the 1980s, an amateur historian embarked on a quest to uncover the forgotten tales of Fran Germaine, an old-time fiddle player and rustic builder. The historian sought out the memories of an aging woodsman and bootlegger in the Adirondacks, looking for clues about Germaine's life. However, these tales seemed to vanish into thin air multiple times. Just when all hope seemed lost, a diary written by Rosalyn Orloff, a socialist writer and Carl Jung's reputed lover, came to light.
The Power Line takes us on a captivating journey from the quaint villages of Lake Aurora and Saranac Lake, New York, in the aftermath of World War I. It was a time when Prohibition and tuberculosis dominated the area. From there, the story unravels into a thrilling escape across the St. Lawrence River in the dead of winter, culminating in Montreal. Through this narrative, Christopher Shaw, the author and publisher of the book, sheds light on the oft-forgotten history of northern New York and the Canadian borderlands, bridging the gap between the past and present.
By delving into the lives and stories of these characters, the Power Line explores the continuity of a disputed and mysterious past. Shaw's vivid storytelling draws the reader in and provides a glimpse into a bygone era that still reverberates today.
