These have not been vacations, but residences of three or more months.In this book Tom provides a brief survey of Maine's history and the Camden region, describes the activities and events he encountered and participated in, several day trips he took to places of interest nearby, and excursions further afield of several days or more. The book is complimented with numerous photographs, mostly taken by Tom.Any reader contemplating a visit to Maine,and especially to the Camden Region would benefit from reading this book.
