About the Book

  • Do you know the true legend of Katahdin's Pamola?
  • Have you heard of the toils of Maine's Mud Pond Carry?
  • What Maine town has a population of "not many" but has had the names of its river and ponds renamed, twice?
  • Have you been robbed by Whiskey Jack?
  • After reading, your stories around the campfire, or hearth, will never be the same.

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. Katahdin as told by Penobscot Nation Member, Clara Neptune.
Find out why Maine lumbermen were superstitious about Whiskey Jack.
Discover the history of panthers in Maine.

This edition was compiled and edited with new information and photographs by Maine author, Tommy Carbone.
You can read more about the Hardy father-daughter team in, "Exploring The Maine Woods - The Hardy Family Expedition to the Machias Lakes."

Tommy Carbone is a Maine author who writes mystery and non-fiction. You can read about moose, and much more, in his novel, "The Lobster Lake Bandits - Mystery at Moosehead." Maine's Journal Tribune Book Corner review, stated, "Carbone is a natural story teller. His description and dialogue make the characters come alive. The reader feels they are getting to know the real people of Maine I loved the whole book and recommend it highly.
The sequel, "The Elephant Mountain Gang," brings readers back to Moosehead Lake. The Bangor Daily News exclaimed, "I will say Tommy's characters are very real. And I must warn you, have plenty of time set aside because you're not going to want to stop reading."
Tommy has also released several Maine classics on the Maine North Woods by Lucius Hubbard and Thomas S. Steele.
