Dispatches from Maine, 1942-1992 by John Gould
Essays from Maine, a weekly newspaper editorial, stories of farm life. Some funny stories.
Interesting articles on snowstorms, Christmas, gardening, maple sugaring, lobstering all of which I'm interested in.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device).

The Fastest Hound Dog in the State of Maine por John Gould

Fred McGill used to read this book in a wonderful Maine accent to the delight of conference children visiting Star Island. We have tape recordings of him reading the Fastest Hound Dog in the State of Maine.

The Fastest Hound Dog in the State of Maine por John Gould

Quiet, deadpan humor easily lost on those from away. A good old yarn followed by "copious and scholarly" notes by the teller.
