Sorry for the all caps title, but this is exciting. I was perusing the Adirondacks Reddit forum just now and discovered that someone is making a documentary on Verplanck Colvin. Here's the link to the official trailer, featuring our favorite Adirondack author, Phil Terrie.
Also, a quick synopsis of the documentary, which I grabbed from the website:
"Nineteenth-century explorer, adventurer, surveyor and engineer Verplanck Colvin was ahead of his time in his advocacy to preserve upstate New York’s unusual round range of mountains known as the Adirondacks.

Colvin, the man, has been obscured by time yet his footprint on the Adirondacks awaits the personal discovery of all who explore his legacy of protected mountains, valleys and waters that provide unmatched recreational wilderness experiences for people from around the state, the nation and the world..."
