<p>This book is the result of ten years of dedicated research by the author, whose roots are deeply embedded in The Junction. It is the story of people who had the vision, the time, and the skills to invest in the "Swamp," a.k.a. The Junction, a.k.a. Downtown Tupper. It is a fitting companion to Mostly Spruce and Hemlock, providing many details that answer the questions of who, when, and where.\nThis book reveals the source of pride for all of us who call Tupper Lake home, those who recognize that in addition to natural beauty, it is the legacy of the pioneers of these communities that makes the Adirondacks special.\nThe people of downtown Tupper have never forgotten their motto: "The Junction against the World!" Talk about pride! An impressive job. Congratulations!¿Jim Frenette, Tupper Lake\nI'm blown away by the scope and ambition of Carol Poole's well-researched history. Generations will find big parts of their families' heritages here.¿Mary B. Hotaling, Saranac Lake\nI certainly enjoyed every page of your book. I can only imagine the amount of research you have done. Good luck on a great piece of work.¿Don LaBarge, Tupper Lake</p>

<p>Fifty years after the end of World War II, a high school principal in a small, northern New York village unearthed a box containing more than a thousand letters. The letters had been written by the young soldiers and sailors from the village serving all over the globe. Poignant and witty revelations of life in the service, these letters are a glimpse into what these young people experienced thousands of miles from their Adirondack home. The book ranges from the opening days of World War II to the defeat of Japan. Len's Boys were there from the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the surrender in Berlin and they wrote home about it. Full texts of hundreds of the letters are accompanied by historical background of the war.</p>
