In the North Woods of Maine
Elmer Erwin Thomas
Gelesen von KevinS
Two fifteen-year-old boys---the younger of whom may have been fourteen---decide to hunt and trap away from home in the north woods of Maine. A true recounting of their adventures can be found here, though the years that passed before the tale was written down may have added a slight bit of exaggeration. Then again, they set out in the winter of 1875 and all that's written could very well be the complete and honest truth!
The listener may wish to listen first to Section 18 of this recording---Notes on Maine Animals---as familiarity with these will enhance an understanding of the memoir. (2 hr 41 min)

Great book! The author does a wonderful job of telling his story in a concise form without embellishment, which gives the reader (listener) a very accurate mind picture of the adventures he went through. The reader also did a phenomenal job. I cannot express how much I enjoyed this short tale of two boys of yesteryear being thrust into manhood! Two thumbs up, 10 out of 10.
