Exploring the Maine Woods - the Hardy Family Expedition to the Machias Lakes
註釋From a series of articles written in 1891, comes a paddling memoir that weaves together woodlore with a knowledge of literature and Maine history. The writing is superbly descriptive of the Maine woods, the prose is often like poetry, and the feeling of the period is captured on the pages. Fannie Hardy-Eckstorm was not a fur trader like her father, Manly, or a trapper like her grandfather, but she knew the woods. She was an interpreter of nature, an ornithologist, an expert on early Maine history, with scientific habits and mind for detail. This annotated edition of a Father-Daughter canoe trip celebrates one of the earliest and most talented Maine outdoor writers.
