From his phenomenal collection of over 22,000 articles and stories of the Maine Woods, Steve Pinkham has selected many of the oldest and most exciting hunting and ﬁshing tales, as well as stories of animal encounters, lumbering, canoe trips, and even a few ghost stories. Ranging from 1849 to 1913, the book covers the Maine Woods from Magalloway to Moosehead, and Mopang to Madawaska. Most people know that Thoreau went to Maine several times, wrote eloquently about his travels and coined the phrase “Maine Woods.” Now for the ﬁrst time, the reader will get to read stories by many of the other known and unknown men and women who also travelled to northern Maine and wrote about their experiences or penned ﬁctional stories set in the backwoods. Included are brief biographies and portraits of the known writers. The original has become a must-have book for anyone who loves Maine and now More Old Tales of the Maine Woods offers a whole new collection of stories to enrich the sportsman, historian, tourist, and Maine native alike.
