Beginning with the legendary story of a man in Jonesport (or was it
Dexter or Waterford or Litchfield?) who raffled off his horse,
which incidentally had been dead for some time, these twenty-nine
tales cover the length and breadth of Maine and extend back to the
sixteenth-century fishing camps that were set up a hundred years
before Jamestown and Plymouth. Learn about the origin and history
of "schoolmarms," along with other classic tales on Down East
thrift, the evils of drink, Maine weather, lumbering folklore, and
Paul Bunyan. These yarns often pull your leg, so keep a sharp eye!
Such a collection makes for an encyclopedia of the great cultural
achievement of Mainers, which has been compared to the Rosetta
Stone and the birth of Chaucer. But essentially The Jonesport
Raffle is a book of the highest humor that will be a source of
infinite enjoyment.
