Jay Howard Doig's 1890 self portrait on the Moose River.
(10/11/11) We continue our series, the Adirondack Attic, with Andy Flynn. You may know Andy from his series of "Adirondack Attic" books on local history. He uses the objects people make, use and leave behind to tell stories about the life and times of the region.
