Published In 1938 And The Language And Style Read As Such. Roberts Wrote Several Excellent Novels About Maine Soldiers And Sailors This Book, However, Is Non-Fiction And Was Recommended In A Maine Publication As An Introduction To The History And Culture Of Maine. Good Reads Categorizes It As A Travelogue, But It Is More A History, Focusing On The State's Culture, From Its Early Settlement, Its Military History During The Revolution, And Some Insights Based On The Author's Family History And Extensive Travels Around The State. Roberts Clearly Is A Maine Booster, And I Particularly Enjoyed His Explanation Of Maine's Success As A Source Of Boat Building And Sailing Expertise. The Illustrations By N.C. Wyeth Are A Nice Bonus.
