Produktinformationen zu „Schoodic Point (ePub)“
Schoodic Point, the nearly three and a half square miles of Acadia National Park on the mainland, seems almost timeless and unchanging. The elemental beauty of this land has remained unspoiled only through a serendipitous mixture of effort and coincidence. Schoodic Point outpost actually began with the slow, steady development and settlement of heavy logging, farming, herding and fish processing. People and industries gradually abandoned the Point, and it nearly fell victim to extensive coastal cottage and resort development in the late 1800s. By several twists of fate, the land became preserved and integrated into Mount Desert Island's Acadia Park, which would soon be reshaped by John D. Rockefeller Jr. and the U.S. Navy. Join author Allen Workman as he charts a course through Schoodic Point's evolution, ecology, challenges and preservation.
Autoren-Porträt von Allen K. Workman
Allen Workman has lived in the shadow of beautiful Schoodic Point since age fourteen. In his later teens, he worked in Maine as lobsterman's sternman and in shipbuilding before pursuing a forty-year career as an editor in educational publishing. He retired to become a Maine curmudgeon and local historian in the Schoodic Peninsula region, giving occasional talks on the changing landscape of this most enchanting section of Acadia National Park.
