In the North Woods of Maine By E. E. Thomas — Originally published in 1923, now reprinted for the first time in its entirety, complete with high-quality photographs.
DESCRIPTION In the fall of 1875, two teenage boys—E. E. Thomas and his cousin—set out on an ambitious wilderness adventure. Packing their gear into two birch bark canoes, they journeyed deep into the remote forests of Maine for a seven-month trapping expedition.
Their story is one of raw courage and frontier grit. Treed by a bear, chased and trampled by a moose, and stalked by a panther, they faced the wild head-on, refusing to give up their traplines. Along the way, they tapped maple trees to produce syrup with nothing but primitive tools—only to find their claim challenged by hungry bears.
In the North Woods of Maine is a compelling tale of youthful determination, wilderness survival, and the rugged self-reliance that defined early American frontiersmen. A must-read for lovers of true adventure and outdoor history.
