Lee Manchester wins special award for regional history book

'Plains of Abraham' cover

Lee Manchester’s book, “The Plains of Abraham: A History of North Elba and Lake Placid,” published last August, won the first Special Appreciation Award ever given at the Adirondack Literary Awards program. The annual awards program was held on Sunday, June 8, in Blue Mountain Lake, N.Y.

Manchester is media relations director for Wagner College. He joined the administrative staff in February 2007. 

 

One of the judges, Bibi Wein (author of “The Way Home: A Wilderness Journey”), explained that the unique award was being given because of the long-term importance to Adirondack literature of Manchester’s book, a compilation and comprehensive editing of four decades of research by the late public historian Mary MacKenzie, who died in 2003.
