Are you familiar with the old saying, "Quicker than a new York minute? We discovered that to be entirely true as we drove across the George Washington Bridge spanning the Hudson River in route the our nephew Brent Wilson's wedding in Portland ME. It was a trying experience for we North Carolinians, but we somehow made it safely to the Manhattan side.
Should the title mislead you into thinking that this book is all about Maine’s rocky coast and its brilliant autumn foliage, then you are entirely incorrect. 
The real story is the environmental crisis that the world is now experiencing. 
Some politicians and scientists attribute it to urban sprawl, others environmental mismanagement, others the greenhouse effect, others global warming, others desertification, still others overpopulation, a catastrophic human migration from Saharan Africa and the Middle East into the European Union, and recently the suicide ISIS bombing in Paris.
Whatever one chooses to call it, the crisis is bad, very bad, and it is only going to become even worse. The very survival of Planet Earth is at risk, What does Maine have to do with all of this? It was my inspiration to write my newest publication as an environmental essay, rather than one of my usual and boring travel books. 
Maine is one of the few areas left in this nation where in places, one still has the opportunity to experience pre-Columbian America as it was before European arrivals who all but exterminated Native Americans and destroyed the great Eastern Woodlands.
