Book Overview
Affectionately named the Grandfathers' retreats, these sojourns into the depths of the Maine woods have inspired Gould's finest and most emotionally resonant writing to date.
With a naturalist's sensitivity to his environment, and his great good humor, Gould writes of hiking through dense forests, of fly fishing for salmon and trout in deserted creeks, of campside culinary triumphs, and of friendship and shared reflections on careers, family, and the modern world. The resulting book is a wonderful, memorable meditation on the beauty of the Maine woods and on John Gould's ever-interesting life.

Rated 5 starsKim Simmonds is an excellent writer, truly showcasing the history of Sidney, MT
By Thriftbooks.com Reader,
I can't imagine the work that Kim went through to choose the photos and write with such historical knowledge as if she herself grew up in Sidney. You can tell that she took her time researching and crafting great prose to go along with the historical photos.
