It's part of the Rivers of America series. The side story is about lumbering in interior Maine and the characters that did the logging. Interesting read. This will be the first read in a long time from the Rivers of America series. I have them all so I'm going to try and read them all! ( )

My mom's family has roots in the Allagash. This is a fascinating history of that frontier region. Drawing on both documentary history as well as personal narratives and oral history, this book is a must-read for anyone interested in the social, economic, political or geological background of northern Maine.
