Jeffrey Flagg

Dr. Jeff Flagg is the assistant director of the Sagamore Institute, and has been at Sagamore since completing a doctoral internship in 1997. A scholar of the Adirondack region, he received his Ph.D. in American culture studies from Bowling Green University in 1999, and also has degrees in business and literature. He is deeply invested in the history of the camp, the region and the park, and has taught at several colleges in the area, as well as innumerable Road Scholar programs.

Dr. Michael Wilson

Dr. Michael Wilson created the Adirondack Studies Program at the State University of New York, Potsdam. As the associate director of Sagamore, he trains the historic interpreters annually and has received kudos from the Michelin Guide, the Upstate History Alliance, and the New York State Arts and Business Partnership Association. A scholar and teacher, his love of his subject is immediately evident.

Mary Shartle

Mary Sanders Shartle is an award-winning poet and fiction writer. She is a member of “The Three Poets” who twice won the Adirondack Center for Writing Literary Award, and her poems have appeared in BlueLine and Sow’s Ear Poetry Review.

Mary teaches numerous writing workshops for adults and children, and is the author of “The Hermit: The Truth and Legend of Lily Martindale.”

Mr. Dan Berggren

Rooted firmly in the Adirondacks, Dan Berggren is an award-winning musician and educator who grew up on land farmed by his mother's family for generations. Having worked as a forest ranger and on survey crews, Dan’s style captures the spirit of the mountains. He has entertained audiences from New York State to Vermont, Kentucky and Texas, and overseas in the British Isles, Eastern Europe and Central Africa. His original music has been featured nationally on public radio and television.
