Camping in the Winter Woods Adventures of Two Boys in the Maine Woods

by Elmer Russell Gregor

Overview

Excerpt: "As the train stopped before a small station built of logs, two boys carrying guns and rods sprang from their seats and hurried out into the fragrant, pine-laden air of northern Maine. They were Edward Williams and his friend, George Rand. They waved their hands to the conductor as he swung himself back upon the train, and then they turned to face a vast forest which seemed to surround the tiny station on every side."
