eBook Description:  Finished on his deathbed, John J. Pullen's history of the Lumberman's Museum in Maine is partly historical, partly reminiscent. Pullen's youth was spent in the Maine area, and he is intimately familiar with the people, customs, trades and activities of the area--one can see why appreciates the museum which gathers the history of Northern Maine. More than a look at the museum, this book gives a insightful portrayal of the lives of that most enigmatic of states, from one who knows. Pullen is the well-known historical author of Joshua Chamberlain: "A Hero's Life & Legacy" (1999), "The Twentieth Maine: A Volunteer Regiment in the Civil War" (1957), and "A Shower of Stars" (1997), among others.

There was a way and a time of life in this country when the activities of farm and forest were happily interlocked, and nowhere was this relationship more evident than it was in northern Maine. With the migration of the American people to the West it passed to other regions having similarities of woods, lands and waters, and with the advent of motorization and mechanization it passed out of existence, but on a few days' vacation trip you can catch a very satisfactory glimpse of it in what, to my mind, is the most wonderful museum in the world probably because I spent the days of my early youth in the sort of life it portrays and am able to write this elaboration upon its exhibits.
