"Author and historian Samuel Adams Drake traveled 2400 miles of Maine seacoast, by rail, by boat, and on foot, and wrote lovingly of his journey. Through his eyes, the reader learns about the towns, notable figures, Indians, history, forts, lighthouses, islands, cemeteries, churches, weather, and of course, the natural beauty of the Great State of Maine. Published in 1891, Drake's book is lavishly illustrated with more than 270 images."
