About This Book
"Deep in the wildlands of northern Maine is a remote piece of land with a small point sheltering a shallow cove along the shore of an expansive lake. Used as a campsite by indigenous peoples for thousands of years, the land was cleared in the mid-1850s, developed into a lumber depot, and named Chamberlain Farm. Following a period of neglect after a century of use by lumbermen, the area was turned into a rustic enclave for hunting and fishing enthusiasts.
In recent years as civilization encroached, Chamberlain Farm became the focus of protection efforts by wilderness lovers who sought to ensure preservation and keep it in some semblance of its former wildness." "In The Wilderness from Chamberlain Farm, historian Dean B. Bennett traces those transformations, bringing to life the people involved, their motivations, and the interconnected effects of their actions"--BOOK JACKET.
