Produktbeschreibung
The Upper Kennebec Valley is one of the most important gateways to Maine's Great North Woods and has, for over 200 years, attracted those who love the wilderness, lakes, mountains, and streams. The Upper Kennebec Valley Volume II begins, once again, at The Forks, where the East Branch of the Kennebec and the Dead River unite to form the Kennebec. The area has long been dominated by logging and tourism trades. Starting with the days of horses and oxen, when loggers and "sports" came to the woods by foot and wagon to the coming of the railroad and the automobile, we see the growth of these small towns and the hardworking loggers, daring river drivers, sport hunters and fishermen, and those who guided and hosted them. Early scenes of the daily lives of "valley folk" enjoying local parades, picnics, reunions, and sporting events come alive within these pages.
Autorenporträt
Author Jon F. Hall has compiled over 200 historic images that guide us through the valley, its surrounding communities, and the townships on the west side of the river. Hall has been associated with numerous Maine historical organizations and has family roots in the Upper Kennebec Valley dating back to the eighteenth century. This new addition to the Images of America series provides an intimate portrait of life in small-town America and serves as a fitting tribute to the people of Upper Kennebec Valley.
