ESPECIALLY[centered] MAINE[centered]

HENRY BESTON[centered]

Perhaps his greatest gift was to call attention to things that had always been there, but whose significance had gone largely unnoticed until he spoke or wrote about them [Elizabeth Coatsworth says of Henry Beston in her Foreword]. He was a great opener of windows.

The accumulated impact of Henry Beston's view of man in relation to nature, and his unique farsightedness, are demonstrated in these observa- tions of earth, sea, and sky from Cape Cod to the St. Lawrence, most of them written a long genera- tion before ecology became a public concern. The first section of the book is from his classic The Outermost House["The Outermost House" italicized], the chronicle of his year alone on the great outer beach of Cape Cod, considered so valuable a contribution to American thought that the house itself has been made a National Literary Monument. Then the locale moves to Maine, with pieces from White Pine and Blue Water, Northern Farm, Herbs and the Earth, and American Memory[all foregoing titles italicized]-- the latter regarded as the first study of our nation's history to give proper perspective to the role of the American Indian. The last section, North of Maine, contains portions of The St. Lawrence["The St. Lawrence" italicized], one of the most memorable volumes in the Rivers of America Series. Included throughout to illumine or amplify Henry Beston's meticulous and often lyric observations are unpublished letters to family and friends, some of his poems, and notes from his journals.
