Penobscot Man

The Penobscot Man is a collection of true stories about the river drivers, guides, and woodsmen of Maine’s Penobscot River. Fannie Hardy Eckstorm writes from a firsthand knowledge of the region. The book portrays the men's dangerous log‑driving work, their courage and hardships, and the local legends and characters that shaped life along the river. Note: Occasionally, somewhat racist remarks or characterizations make their way into the narrative, reflecting the biases of the era. (Summary by John Greenman)
