A Lumberjack's Life in Allagash, Maine

More about the book

Set in the small community of Allagash, Maine, the narrative explores the life of Louis Pelletier, a dedicated individualist who thrived in the Maine woods. Through vignettes shared with his daughter, novelist Cathie Pelletier, it reflects on a simpler era devoid of modern technology, where the sun dictated time, the forest provided labor, and storytelling served as a vital source of inspiration and connection. The memoir captures the essence of hard work and the rich tapestry of life in a close-knit community.
