Mt. Katahdin sits at the terminus of the
Appalachian Trail, a sublimely gratifying sight for weary hikers. Our Maine history books offer enterprising readers a similar satisfaction. The defiant crags of
Midcoast Maine yield to the flowering wildwoods of
Acadia National Park. The vile deeds of
North Woods killer James Hicks are countered with the unflagging nobility of Mainer
nurses and
firefighters. From the confines of
Portsmouth Naval Prison to the remotest
logging trails of the Pine Tree State, discover history that could only be
made in Maine.
