Beston, Henry, edited by, - White Pine and Blue Water: a state of Maine reader.

Camden, ME, Down East Magazine, (1950). G PB. "Maine enjoys being Maine.a positive enjoyment of adventure, character and circumstance.Here one still thinks of life. as life and not as existence." Here Beston has collected the best of three centuries of Maine fact and fiction. Early travelers, missionaries and soldiers describe the troubled era when the French and English battled each other and the Indians; seafaring days by Rachael Field and Edwin Arlington Robinson, while 19th century men and women, Longfellow, Thoreau, Stowe and Lowell among others relate to their own experiences in the Maine of that era. Coffin describes the ice trade on the Kennebec and Jewett writes of an old seacoast mansion. Some tanning on binding, few corner creases.
