Trail fundraiser
LEWISTON — David B. Field, a retired University of Maine professor of forest resources, has written a book about Maine’s Appalachian Trail, and has offered copies of the book to the Maine Appalachian Trail Club to be sold as a fundraiser. All proceeds from book sales through MATC will be used for trail work.
“Images of America: Along Maine’s Appalachian Trail” illustrates the rich history of the trail’s rugged mountains and vast forests. Black-and-white images in the book come primarily from the MATC archives, the Maine State Library and the author’s personal files.
To purchase the book through MATC, go to www.matc.org or write to MATC, PO Box 55, Gray ME 04039. The cost, including tax and shipping, is $28 for a single copy; MATC members get 15 percent discount. Multiple copies to the same address are somewhat less because shipping cost is less per book.
