The river and woods that define the small community of Allagash, Maine, also define the long life of Louis Pelletier. This is the story, told with his daughter, acclaimed novelist Cathie Pelletier, of a hard-working individualist who made his livelihood in the Maine woods. In brief vignettes, Pelletier recalls growing up and working in a simpler time--before there were satellite dishes, computers, or snowmobiles--when the sun was their timepiece, the forest their work, and storytelling was their spiritual sustenance.
