    In the North Woods of Maine

    Rate this audiobook

    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.     [chương_files]

    The American Charles Warren Stoddard (1843–1909) wrote quite popular travel books, especially those about Polynesia. South-Sea Idyls (1873) was his most popular book. A series of letters to a friend, “They are,” wrote William Dean Howells, “the lightest, sweetest, wildest, freshest things that were ever written about the life of that summer ocean.” Stoddard also wrote The Lepers Of Molokai (1885), a book that brought Father Damien and his charges to public notice. – Summary by David Wales     [chương_files]
