Hubbard’s memoir, “Woods and Lakes of Maine – A Trip from Moosehead Lake to New Brunswick in a Birch-Bark Canoe," was classic north woods writing and a 2020 Annotated Edition also been released for Maine’s Bicentennial year. I've got to thank Tommy Carbone for republishing, "Hubbard's Guide to Moosehead Lake and Northern Maine ." It's an amazing book by Lucius Hubbard, first published in 1879. Hubbard really knew Maine's north woods and his book features his hikes and paddles throughout the north woods. Thankfully, our north woods hasn't changed much since Hubbard's time.I've spent time in many of the places Hubbard wrote about, and it was fascinating to learn what those places were like in the 1800s, such as all the wildlife Hubbard saw including caribou. I also appreciated all the information Tommy Carbone added to the book. And the photos will put you right there in my favorite places. I guarantee, if you've spent time in the north woods, you will love this book , but even if you haven't, you'll enjoy it, and you'll probably start planning a visit there. - George Smith - Maine's Bangor Daily News - - - - - - - - - -
