The Lobster Coast
Rebels, Rusticators, and the Struggle for a Forgotten Frontier
Langbeschreibung
"A thorough and engaging history of Maine's rocky coast and its tough-minded people."-Boston Herald
"[A] well-researched and well-written cultural and ecological history of stubborn perseverance."-USA Today
For more than four hundred years the people of coastal Maine have clung to their rocky, wind-swept lands, resisting outsiders' attempts to control them while harvesting the astonishing bounty of the Gulf of Maine. Today's independent, self-sufficient lobstermen belong to the communities imbued with a European sense of ties between land and people, but threatened by the forces of homogenization spreading up the eastern seaboard.
