Author visiting Paris Library

SOUTH PARIS — Steve Pinkham, author of "Old Tales of the Maine Woods," is speaking at the Paris Public Library on Thursday, October 11, at 7 p.m.

Mr. Pinkham will discuss his research in collecting over 22,000 stories and articles about the Maine Woods, and will share a few of the stories the book includes.

"Old Tales of the Maine Woods" offers a variety of stories, from 1849 to 1913, about fishing, hunting, lumbering, camping, canoeing and other adventures in Maine’s northern forests.

Authors of the pieces range from the famous to the obscure to the unknown, but all share an interesting perspective on Maine’s frontier history. Copies of the book will be for sale and signing.
