King Spruce - Maine Classic Annotated Edition

King Spruce - the Maine Classic Annotated Edition hardcover dust jacket. In a small town of northern Maine, Dwight Wade, a former star center on the college football team was the town's schoolteacher. He held that position until his love interest was discovered to be the lumber baron's daughter. Out of work, he takes a position with the lumber company, working for the wood's boss of the baron who had him fired from the school. Soon, he finds himself in the center of a Maine lumberman's war, a scorching forest fire, with knowledge of a scandalous affair that threatens to throw the Maine Governor's race into turmoil. Holman Day vividly combines the scenery of Maine with the political and industrial logging interest of the late 19th century. In those days, the woods of Maine during the winter were alive with men chopping the trees. The logs were piled high on the shores of the lakes, ponds, and rivers. When the spring melt came water was liquid gold, and those that controlled the water interests in the state made the most money. Under these conditions, can Wade help a small time operator float his logs against the interest of the conglomerate? And what of the girl he discovered in the woods? Against the baron's wishes, will the scandal reach the papers? * * * Look for all of Holman F. Day's novels in the commemorative Maine Classic Annotated Editions.
