A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Artist and author Elsa Kny Steinback (1911-1996) was born in New York City, but spent summers at Shelving Rock on Lake George at a house built by her grandparents. She became interested in art in high school and received training at the Pratt Institute and with artist Eric Pape. For years she spent winters in Brooklyn, where she had an art studio. In the 1940s, she had a winter home built in Bolton Landing and continued to spend summers across the lake at Shelving Rock. Most of her artistic and literary works concern the Lake George region. Her book, Sweet Peas and a White Bridge: On Lake George When Steam Was King, published in 1974, is a history of Lake George with an emphasis on the nineteenth century.
