REVIEWS & COMMENTS
4.0 out of 5 stars
By French Pioneer on August 8, 2016“I bought this book directly from the author and that is why it is not shown as a verified purchase. I found the book to be extremely interesting. The book is about a young reporter who is assigned to interview a retired ranger for an article. Through a series of interviews she learns about the ranger, the history of the Allagash, and about herself. What I liked most about the book, are the stories that the ranger tells the reporter during the interview and the events the reporter reads about in the ranger’s journals are all true stories. Very fascinating.”
5.0 out of 5 stars…
By Cobscook on July 16, 2016
“This book is a celebration of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway and the great outdoorsmen and women who characterize northern Maine. Told in a series of vignettes as an inexperienced reporter interviews an elderly retired Allagash ranger, the book captures the excitement and history of the Maine outdoor experience. If you like outdoor adventure stories or survival experiences told with humor, this is the book for you. I can’t wait to read what author Tim Caverly comes up with next!”
5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Read!
By Amazon Customer on May 23, 2016“This is a great read for anyone who has a love for outdoor stories. If you have traveled these parts of Maine you will quickly identify with the locations as they are written about and it will bring you back to when you were there yourself. The story will put your mind at ease and allow for you to enjoy a story of adventure and mystery in one of the most beautiful places on earth, Northern Maine!”
5.0 out of 5 stars
By Susan Caverly on May 8, 2016“This book is a sequel to Mr. Caverly’s book “Solace” and I found the characters well developed, with a new twist around every corner. Lots of historical pictures accompanied by new illustrations by Mr. Manzo. I am a fan on the books by Allagash Tails and waiting for the next adventure from the Maine woods.”
