Chasing Danforth
A Wilderness Calling


Available in soft cover or hardcover.
8.5" x 11.0" / 159 pages
 

About the author and his book. Robert Cook is a wonderful storyteller who happened to purchase a camp on an island at Parmachenee Lake in Maine that was also the location of Camp Caribou which was established by Danforth in the 1870's. Bob spent five years researching Danforth's amazing life, gathering an exceptionally rich collection of illustrations and photographs along the way. Each page of this book was composed with the fine hewn care of a craftsman and every image is there for a reason.
This extraordinary book is no longer being published. Chasing Danforth is now only available from SnowSource and one or two out of the way bookshops. It's destined to become a collector's item.

Who was Danforth? John S. Danforth (1847-1913) was one of Maine's most famous guides and outdoorsmen. This book chronicles his travels from the Maine woods to the Florida Everglades (in his 125 foot stern wheel paddle boat) to the gold mining canyons of Idaho.
