Description

Beloved by residents and tourists alike for its rustic woods and beautiful beaches, Maine embodies true Yankee tradition. Ranging from Brunswick, where Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin, to Cadillac Mountain, reputedly the first place in the U.S. to see the sun each day, here is a colorful portrait of a state synonymous with clambakes and covered bridges, harbors and hiking, lobsters and lighthouses, and mail-order pioneer L. L. Bean-and home to such prominent Americans as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Winslow Homer, Margaret Chase Smith, and Stephen King.

This book was donated and signed on the first page by Governor John Baldacci.
