The Interrupted Forest: A History of Maine's Wildlands
- Used Book in Good Condition
More than half of Maine has never been settledâ€•millions of acres of quasi-wilderness.
Add to this the thousands of farms that have grown back to woods since the Civil War, and you have the most forested state, by percentage, in the United States. But the â€œuninterrupted forestâ€ that Henry David Thoreau first saw in the 1840s was never exactly that. Loggers had cut it severely, European settlers had gnawed into it, and, much earlier, native people had left their mark. This book takes you deep into the past to understand the present, allowing you to hear the stories of the people and events that have shaped the woods and made them what they are today. B&W Maps
