Athens, Harmony, Hartland, and St. Albans surround the 3,500-acre Great Moose Lake in central Maine, and this volume reveals the fascinating history found here. Sportsmen discovered this land in the mid-1800s and established hunting lodges on the lake's shore, which continued for more than 60 seasons. In their heyday, the lodges provided employment for locals and planted alluring mysteries for later generations. Citizens later thrived on the farming and manufacturing in the late 19th and early 20th century. The colorful past left a rich heritage of seasonal and year-round residents and visitors that shaped the personality of the area. Around Great Moose Lake unravels some mysteries of the lodges and focuses on the changing culture around the lake and its four towns.

reviewed Around Great Moose Lake (Images of America Series) on August 04, 2014 Around Great Moose Lake (Images of America Series)
Stunning photographs. I mean, absolutely gorgeous visuals. Mr. Watkins and Ms. Jones seemed to go out of their way to find some really off-the-beaten-path "things to do before you die," though there was some overlap with the other book by these two, Unforgettable Journeys to Take Before You Die, as well as the first in the series, Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die. I'm not sure there's a really clear delineation between "things to do," "journeys to take," and "places to see." Most all of the trips chosen in any of the three books could have been shuffled into either of the others just fine.
Anyway, they introduced me to some intriguing locations I would have been unlikely to find on my own. For example, the sections on "Tasting Warrior Life" in Mongolia and "Searching for Black Pearls" in French Polynesia. Both are interesting slices of the world I really don't know much about but now I'm intrigued enough to go find out more. And I liked the little "travel tips" at the end of each section.
Honestly, though, the main emotion coursing through my mind while reading this book was something bordering on insane jealousy. If they're looking for someone to help test out a bunch of unforgettable trips for a fourth book, I'm available. (Call me!)
