Publisher Description: The pristine natural beauty of the Moosehead Lake Region is legendary. Towering white pines, clear rivers, the massive Mount Kineo, and the unforgettable, stunning expanse of the lake itself have offered spiritual renewal to civilization-weary people for centuries. This fascinating visual history captures the essence of the Moosehead Lake Region, and reveals the many people and places that have been important in the area's past. Included are photographs of the grand hotels and the Mount Kineo House; the steamboats that plied the waters of the lake; camps such as Camp Lucky and Camp Comfort; and the stories of both Henry Red Eagle, an Algonquin boy who at 14 was the youngest licensed guide in the state of Maine (later becoming an entertainer and author), and the hermit of Moose Island, John Cusack (not the actor). The accompanying captions include a wealth of information as well as excerpts from interviews with people who spent their lives on and around Moosehead Lake. |
