Book excerpt: From a series of articles written in 1891, comes a paddling memoir that weaves together woodlore with a knowledge of literature and Maine history. The writing is superbly descriptive of the Maine woods, the prose is often like poetry, and the feeling of the period is captured on the pages. Fannie Hardy-Eckstorm was not a fur trader like her father, Manly, or a trapper like her grandfather, but she knew the woods. She was an interpreter of nature, an ornithologist, an expert on early Maine history, with scientific habits and mind for detail. This annotated edition of a Father-Daughter canoe trip celebrates one of the earliest and most talented Maine outdoor writers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is compilation of short stories, essays, poems and legends about the Maine woods from: Fannie Hardy Eckstorm, Manly Hardy, Thomas W. Higginson, and Tommy Carbone; with the poems of Anna Boynton Averill.Fannie Hardy Eckstorm may be a lesser-known Maine outdoors writer than Henry Thoreau, but she was a Mainer, and she spent more time in the woods on a single of her many trips, than Thoreau did in all his trips combined. Eckstorm knew the woods, the animals, and the woodsmen. She was an author, school superintendent, historian, naturalist, taxidermist, and ornithologist. Her writing is descriptive and warm; the words will take you to the woods where she describes the habits of the birds and the character of a fire built from poplar wood. She was diverse in her knowledge and within she adds references to literature and Maine knowledge.Manly Hardy, Fannie's father, was a well-known Maine woodsman, fur trader, ornithologist, and respected man of Brewer, Maine. He contributed his own experiences through magazine articles and his journal entries. A few of which are preserved for the reader in this book. However, he took a specific interest in teaching his daughter the ways of the woods, both in survival and in documenting. His keen eye, observation, and acquaintances no doubt led Fannie Hardy Eckstorm becoming the outdoors writer she was.Most of the writings are timeless pieces from the 1800s and early 1900s, which will transport you to the 'way the woods were' and, in many cases, still are.Read about Kinneho, the legend which named Mt. Kineo.Learn the legends of Mt.

Written in the spirit of Thoreau's, "The Maine Woods" - this is a classic book about nature, wildlife, and exploring. In the September of 1881, Lucius L Hubbard and "The Captain," set off with their Indian guides, Silas and Joe, for a month-long canoe trip in the Maine north woods. In this text, Hubbard captures the details of their trip from Greenville, at the south end of Moosehead Lake, to Edmundston, New Brunswick. The book describes the scenery, their meals, the wildlife, and what they encountered along the trail. In this new 2020 annotated edition we have included updated notes and new photographs of the area of Maine where the trip took place. The original engraved etchings are digitally mastered from an original 1884 copy of the book. Hubbard wrote this about the adventure, "The keen enjoyment of many hours had made ample amends for the few hardships we had undergone, while the lessons we had had of Nature's teaching will form a priceless treasure-book, of which, when we are far removed from her schoolhouse, we may turn the leaves anew, and read again and again the story we had conned."

Three generations of the Parker family had grown up in the woods near Maine's Lobster Lake. The Parkers knew the roads, trails, and lakes around their cabin better than anyone, except maybe the local game warden. It was always a peaceful and safe place.

Book excerpt: "An entertaining memoir that reads like a sitcom." "Made me laugh until tears were coming down my face." In Growing up Greenpoint, Tommy Carbone captures what it was like to be a kid during the 1970s and 80s in Brooklyn, New York. This funny, and sometimes emotional, memoir follows the years Tommy was educated not only in the classrooms of St. Stan's, but on the streets of Greenpoint. It was there, playing street games with friends, being cornered by muggers, playing kissing games with the girls, spending time with family, and constantly seeking out the best snack foods in the neighborhood, where Tommy learned a lot about life; although he may not have known it at the time. A simple conversation, years later, about the New York City Blackout of 1977 sparks Tommy to recall his youth in the city he loved. His stories will bring you into the action of what it was like to dodge cars during a ballgame, to take a hike to another borough in search of a particular burger, to the hours spent playing pinball in a corner candy store, and how special it was to build traditions with three generations of Polish and Italian relatives in Brooklyn's garden spot. The vivid descriptions of his antics of what it was like to grow up during those years will transport you to the sounds and smells of living in the city during those trying years. Reading this book, you'll be entertained, and at the same time, you may shake your head wondering how Tommy ever survived - Growing up in Greenpoint.
