Upper Saranac Lake in the Adirondacks of northern New York was, in 1912, as much a summer destination as a working place, with private camps and hotels along its shores drawing well-to-do visitors from the cities. The nearby village of Saranac Lake had grown up around the tuberculosis cure that Dr. Edward Livingston Trudeau began in the 1880s, and the rest-cure trade brought a steady stream of patients seeking mountain air. The Delaware and Hudson Railroad had linked the village to the outside world since the late 1880s, carrying summer guests, supplies, and the sick. Lumbering and the earlier tanning-bark trade had already worked through much of the surrounding forest, so by 1912 the lake shore belonged mostly to recreation and health seekers.
