This book explores the history of several of Burden Lake's once-popular camps and resorts. While it’s main focus is Totem Lodge, the full story is much bigger and uncovers a fascinating collection of people, places, and events. You'll discover the story of a gentlemen's club, inventive minds and remarkable inventions, the journey of a totem pole, a Baseball Hall of Famer’s love for the region, and a famous Borscht Belt resort whose entertainers went on to become household names in television and film—and much more. I hope you enjoy discovering the rich and sometimes surprising history of Burden Lake as much as I have enjoyed bringing it together.
