Autorenporträt
Having spent summers in Northern Maine for over 65 years, the author is well acquainted with the tales of the North woods on which this story is based. Searching for Native American artifacts brought him closer to the makers of arrowheads and stone knives. He watched the large boats tow five thousand cords of pulpwood down a narrow lake. He knew "the last old guy," and remembers their stories.
