Hubbard and his travel companion, "The Captain" - the 1881 version of Bryson and Katz in "A Walk in the Woods."
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, 160-mile 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."
I am sure readers will treasure this story today, as much as Hubbard treasured the Maine woods that he so carefully describes within these pages.

An Historical Fiction Mystery set in Maine.
When Sarah, a travel writer from New York City, gets sent to Maine on assignment, she's reluctant to go. The Moosehead Lake region of Maine is a place of only bad memories for her.
Her fears aside, what she truly isn't prepared for are the poachers, the locals, and meeting Joe Parker, for the second time in her life.
What she discovers about herself, her family, and a Boston crime is so much larger than a story for a magazine article.
"This book will make you want to visit Maine."
"Suspense. Romance. Mystery. This book has it all."

For the Parkers and the game warden, it's a race against the weather, finding clues to the crime, and locating the sneaky backwoods characters who manage to stay one step ahead of them.
For Sarah, her feelings for the Maine woods will never be the same.

This novel is set in the Moosehead Lake Region of Maine.
Moosehead is Maine's largest lake and measures approximately 40 miles long by 10 miles wide.
At the center of the lake is Mt. Kineo, the largest rhyolite formation known in the world. The igneous rock was used by Native Americans to craft weapons and tools.
Lobster Lake is to the north east of Moosehead, nestled in a remote forest.
It is the same pristine wilderness that greeted Henry Thoreau, Lucius Hubbard, Thomas Steele, and Fannie Hardy Eckstorm. It is an area rich in history, but full of mystery and legends. This book will transport you to those woods and the writing will allow you to smell the pine-scented air and hear the call of the loons. After reading, you may just want to visit for yourself.
