Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Woods and Lakes of Maine: A Trip From Moosehead Lake to New Brunswick in a Birch-Bark Canoe, to Which Are Added Some Indian Place-Names and Their Meanings Now First Published
It must not for a moment be supposed that the doings and sayings Of the writer's friend and companion are herein literally portrayed. A foreground was wanted, to complete the picture, which should be in contrast with the subdued tones produced by the usually dull routine of camp life; and accordingly a mythical character was evoked, who should consent to play the clown, and to be laughed at for his wit or his stupidity, as occasion might require.
