Charles B. McLane : Islands of the Mid-Maine coast

NOTE DE L'ÉDITEUR : The McLanes have delved into a wealth of primary sources, using old tax assessments, court records, and early maps to spin their tales of the early settlers of Maine's islands and their descendants. Here is history as it too seldom is in textbooks : colorful, human, downright irresistible.

« Islands of the Mid-Maine coast : Penobscot bay » (1998)
« Islands of the Mid-Maine coast : Mount Desert to Machias bay » (1993)
« Islands of the Mid-Maine coast : Muscongus bay and Monhegan Island » (1993)
« Islands of the Mid-Maine coast : Blue Hill bay » (1993)
« Islands of the Mid-Maine coast : Pemaquid point to the Kennebec river » (1998)

Each volume is replete with rare vintage photos and dozens of maps and will delight all who love islands, or simply a good read.
