From
the Back Cover --
Bound for Munsungun –
Family Heirloom Edition,
The History of the Early Sporting Camps of Northern Maine by Jack Ahern,
the new enhanced version of Jack’s 2008 sold out book. This book has a
new hard cover and is printed on higher quality paper. It has 22 more
pages than the first book and has approximately 50 new images, including
photos of Theodore Roosevelt and many of the Munsungun guides, along
with images of Native American artifacts. It also has a larger index to
include the new material. This enhanced second edition (first hardcover
edition) was printed in very limited quantities. Please order your copy
today before they are gone!
“Jack painstakingly researched his book, which introduces readers to the
pioneers, families and guides who earned a living in some of the state’s
most unforgiving territory. “Bound for Munsungan” is a bit like the
territory it describes: It’s a hard-edged, rustic, no-nonsense account.
You don’t find long, flowery passages full of adjectives and
descriptions in Ahern’s work. The collected black-and-white photos take
care of that brand of heavy lifting. You do learn something new on every
page, however, as Ahern walks you though the region’s history and
introduces you to people like Will Atkins, Milt Hall, Walter Grau and
the Libby family.”
