Book Synopsis Moosehead Lake Region: Gateway to Maine's North Woods by : Suzanne M. AuClair
Book excerpt: The Moosehead Lake Region connected great river routes through the northern wilderness. For thousands of years, Native Americans canoed these waters. By the 1830s, Moosehead Lake became a staging ground for early Euro-American logging, settlement, and outdoor recreation, with Greenville as its supply center. Early rusticators included naturalist writer Henry David Thoreau. Later, guides like Greenville Algonquin Henry (Red Eagle) Perley and Penobscot Roland (Needahbeh) Nelson promoted this "Gateway to the North Woods" as an outdoor traveler's paradise. It is still today. --adapted from publisher's description.
