Read the Historical Story Behind the Book by Elizabeth Speare
Many years ago my husband and I
spent a number of vacations at a small fishing camp in Maine. One
afternoon, rather bored with dangling a line in the water, I drove into
the nearest town of Milo and poked about in the small library. In a slim
volume, The History of Milo,
I came upon a short anecdote. The story was new to me, but I have since
discovered that is has been retold in a number of histories of the
state of Maine.
