The Lobster Lake Bandits is the
first book in the
Moosehead Mystery Series.
"I loved the whole book and recommend it highly." - - Pat Davidson Reef - The Book CornerMaine's Journal Tribune


The Elephant Mountain Gang
The second book in the
Moosehead Mystery Series


From Down East Maine comes a wonderful
memoir about a trip to the Maine woods.
Based on the writing of one of Maine's best
and earliest women authors, this annotated
edition is full of adventure and Maine history.
The dust jacket hardcover has been designed
as a gift and keepsake.


A pair of classic books from Lucius L. Hubbard.
Hubbard's memoir, "Woods and Lakes of Maine," is full of history and descriptive writing on the outdoors from Moosehead Lake to the Allagash and into Canada. Fannie Hardy Eckstorm said of Hubbard, "The one person that did more for place names in Maine than Thoreau, was Hubbard."
In these books Hubbard documents and provides historical detail you will find no place else. Back in 1890, Hubbard sold a map to go with the book. A replica of the map is available to order. See image below.


Do you know the true legends of Katahdin,
Pamola, and Whiskey Jack?
Have panthers ever roamed in Maine?
Who were the women who climbed
Katahdin with Thomas Higginson?
What is the legend of Kineo? And of
Kokadjo?
These questions and more are answered in
this book of stories from Maine writers:
Fannie Hardy Eckstorm &
Manly Hardy
with the poems of Anna Boynton Averill.


Like Hubbard, Thomas S. Steele paddled and
documented his trips through the Maine
North Woods. In this two-book hardcover
edition you will find both of Steel's books
along with added photos and new material.
This is truly a Maine classic that any outdoor
enthusiast will enjoy.

Greenville, Maine at Night



Reflections on Moosehead Lake. This panoramic shot of downtown Greenville, Maine is framed and matted. Picture was taken by Maine author Tommy Carbone and the image color is stunning. Taken on a cold winters night, before the ice formed on the lake, the water was like a mirror and the sky a deep blue. The street lights became starbursts making for a perfect Maine scene. In the image is The Katahdin Steamboat - Auntie M's - Shaw Library - The Shaw Block, a landmark in downtown Greenville, and the newer additions of Rowboat Joes' and Dockside Inn and Tavern



Hubbard's 1899 Map - Replica Poster



When Hubbard released his books, he also sold a map of Northern Maine. this map would look great on the camp wall.

A replica of the map is available to accompany the book. The full poster size is 20"x30" including the images added to the border. Books shown are for size illustration and are NOT included with the purchase. This map is from the 1880 time period and is NOT accurate or for navigational purposes. The image is the best possible reproduction and is for nostalgia only to compare to current day maps. The crease on the poster is part of the image that is made from an actual version of the map that was folded in the book and is not a defect. For information on ordering, fill in the contact form below and send a message.
