PUBLICATIONS BY BRIAN HOODY
"I found that (Brian) Hoody's stories were not only exciting adventures to read, but I also found that I could relate to his experience and thoughts...most importantly, due to his honesty." - Noelle Short, Lake Placid News, 2006 |
Notes From Above Treeline (2006)
Stories from the Adirondack Back Country
from Oxford Attic Publishing
Brian Hoody is a mountain-climbing man and shares his love of the Adirondack High Peaks in "Notes From Above Treeline: Stories from the Adirondack Back Country". As an Adirondack 46er, Brian has climbed most of the peaks in New York State’s rugged Adirondack Mountains. Along the way, he’s seen some incredible sights, discovered interesting aircraft wrecks, made good friends, and come to understand the legends and lore of this mysterious eastern mountain range.
In "Notes From Above Treeline", Brian recounts his mountain climbing experiences with vivid descriptions. His life-long relationship with the Adirondack region has given Brian a respect for the mountains that he expresses keenly with affection and candor.

Adirondack 46ers (2007 Reprint)
from Oxford Attic Publishing
Brian Hoody is serious about preserving the legends of Adirondack mountain climbing. In his first book for Oxford Attic, he wrote “Notes From Above Treeline”, his collection of stories and remembrances of his adventures in the Adirondack high peaks. Now, with the permission of the Adirondack 46ers, Brian Hoody and Oxford Attic Publishing have reprinted the classic 1958 book “The Adirondack 46ers”.
There were only 400 copies of this book printed in 1958, and its place among Adirondack publications is legendary.
The 1958 book, charming and innocent, introduces some of the central figures behind the club during their prime. The Hudowalski’s, the Dittmar’s, the Marshall’s and Jim Goodwin to name a few, who have left a lasting impression on not only the club, but the High Peaks region as well. As the club membership continues to swell, it is important to look back at the roots of the 46ers organization, to understand its legacy, and to secure its future.
Other than a brief preface to the original text, this publication has been kept essentially as it was produced in 1958 (the original Roster Listing has been edited to exclude addresses). Since it is a reproduction of a book that is nearly fifty years old, there are a few imperfections in the period photographs but at Oxford Attic we feel it retains the character of an original edition while making it available at a very accessible price.
