Join H.E. "Ned" Lamb, the foremost historian of Calais, as he dives deep into the facts and storied legends of the St. Croix Valley in this collection of historical articles. Originally published in The Calais Advertiser, these articles cover a wealth of information, including the arrival of French colonists on St. Croix Island (accompanied by Samuel de Champlain), the establishment of the international boundary between Maine and New Brunswick, the histories of various local towns (from Robbinston to Vanceboro and numerous places in between), Moosehorn, smuggling, and more. Lamb tells each story with his characteristic easy-to-read style and weaves in his ample wit throughout. Born in 1874, Ned was a passionate photographer and journalist based in Calais, Maine. He began his career as a journalist in 1928 and continued to write for The Calais Advertiser for three decades. Ned was among the founding members of the St. Croix Historical Society. For any student of Maine history, this compilation of Ned Lamb's works is an important and valuable library addition.
