We Took to the Woods
Author: Louise Dickinson Rich
In her early thirties, Louise Dickinson Rich took to the woods of Maine with her new husband. They found their livelihood and raised a family in the remote backcountry settlement of Middle Dam, in the Rangeley area. Louise made time after morning chores to write about their lives. We Took to the Woods is an adventure story, but it also portrays a cherished dream awakened into full life. Written with warmth, enthusiasm, and humor, it is a book to stir the imagination. First published in 1942, We Took to the Woods became an instant bestseller.
