Fannie Hardy Eckstorm - Short Stories and Essays (Annotated)

By Fannie Hardy Eckstorm

Fannie Hardy Eckstorm was an interpreter of nature, an ornithologist, and expert on early Maine history with scientific habits and a mind for detail.

This edition compiles many never before published river-driving stories from Fannie Hardy Eckstorm.

In this book you will read about Maine characters Big Sebattis Mitchell, Lewey Ketchum, Life Gulliver, Dan Golden, and the notorious outlaw poacher turned game warden, Jock Darling. You'll be on the river with the river-drivers and in the woods with the broad-axe man.

The included essays, "Six Years Under Maine Game Laws" provide an historical record in her own words. The reader will find an appreciation for the breadth of Maine topics she was able to write on so clearly.

The stories complement the writings by Eckstorm in the books:

The Penobscot Man - Life and Death on a Maine River

and

Exploring the Maine Woods - The Hardy Family Expedition to the Machias Lakes.
