The Lobster Coast: Rebels, Rusticators, and the Struggle for a Forgotten Frontier Book

This lively book reveals a little known culture that predates the Pilgrims and has remained true to the earliest version of the American Dream: an egalitarian, self-reliant republic.

How denizens of the coast achieved this balance, even as they withstood assaults from everyone from French raiders to rapacious land speculators, makes for a "stellar informal history ... a primer for conservation and the effects of bad politics" (The Kingston Observer).Read More
