Meet Henry David Thoreau, U.S. Supreme Court Justice William O.
Douglas, and other intrepid explorers as you travel northern Maine's
rugged woods and waters. In a wild country of ledge and trees that
stubbornly resists encroaching civilization, find a young couple padding
through the trials, triumphs, and sheer mental and physical exhaustion
of wilderness travel severely testing their ability to get along and
even complete the trip. Fill your ears with roaring rapids and yodeling
loons. Smell pungent spruce and dank swamps. Encounter moose and
majestic sunrises cloaked in morning mist. A few pages, and you will
find yourself deep in the evergreen forest.
