The Allagash (The Rivers of America Series)

xxiv, 264 pp. 8vo. Illustrated by George Loh, foreword by Senator Edmund S. Muskie, two panel map precedes text. Part of popular The Rivers of America Series. "In the heart of Maine's North Country the Allagash River flows northward a hundred miles through uploads and unbroken forest. A region as well as a river, the Allagash's vast watershed forms the center of the wild land that blankets northwestern Maine. Because of its remoteness, these half-million acres, once the hunting ground of the Abnaki, remain a woodsman's world of paddle and portage, of wild trout and night-crying loon. Its story is engagingly told by Lew Dietz in this fine addition to the Rivers of America series.
