Hauling by Hand: The Life & Times of a Maine Island,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Long Island sits eight miles off the coast, one of the state's most remote island outposts and one of only 14 Maine islands still supporting a yearround community. Only a century ago, there were some 300 such communities. Frenchboro, the island's lone village, surrounds Lunt Harbor. The island's roots were set in the 1820s by the Lunt family and a small band of pioneers who together carved an island community from the spruce and granite shores. Fueled by the shipping and fishing industries, Outer Long Island, as it was known, evolved from outpost to important offshore port before economic changes transformed the island into a hardscrabble turnofthecentury fishing village where nearly 200 residents scratched a living from depleted fishing stocks and rocky soil. Yet through determination, perseverance and Yankee ingenuity, the island survived despite its geographic isolation, devastating shifts in the fishing economy, a decadeslong depression, a dramatic population loss and a school that nearly closed. But while not always an easy place to live, the island is also blessed with a wellsheltered and deep harbor, abundant natural resources and raw physical beauty. Today, the town of Frenchboro has a population of nearly 50 people, a small oneroom school, a post office and one fulltime business. There is neither a general store, nor tourist hotel, nor daily ferry service. Instead there is a village, a soul and a way of life. And this is its story.
