Art of the State: Maine

Art of the State: Maine by Beem, Edgar Allen. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780810955707.

Beloved by residents and tourists alike for its rustic woods and beautiful beaches, Maine embodies true Yankee tradition. Ranging from Brunswick, where Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Toms Cabin, to Cadillac Mountain, reputedly the first place in the U.S. to see the sun each day, here is a colorful portrait of a state synonymous with clambakes and covered bridges, harbors and hiking, lobsters and lighthouses, and mail-order pioneer L. L. Bean-and home to such prominent Americans as Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Winslow Homer, Margaret Chase Smith, and Stephen King. 134 illustrations, 115 in full color
