Pines and pioneers

Pines and pioneers by Smith,Wynifred Staples. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780964205574.

Pines and Pioneers is the story of two patriots who worked at the shipbuilding docks after they had lain down their Revolutionary War muskets at Bath, Maine. Haunted by an ever-recurring whisper, "Taller Timber Up the River," they at last left their jobs for a few days. Being devoutly religious, they ascribed to God the leading instinct which took them without swerving, directly to a hidden pocket of gigantic pines on the shore of Webb Lake in Weld and Carthage, Maine.
