Land of the Porcupine Growing up in Madawaska
Land of the Porcupine Growing up in Madawaska Author:Ronald Stewart Take a trip back to the simple joys and small-town delights of growing up on the northern Maine border in the early 20th century.

It was a place where families with diverse backgrounds got along as neighbors should and where the community mourned whenever it lost one of its own. Ronald Stewart grew up in that time and place and now shares his reminiscences with us all in Land of the Porcupine. Stewart writes fondly of carefree childhood games and high school shenanigans, of an aimless period at home after his discharge from the U.S. Navy in World War II, and then of becoming town manager of Madawaska, the first step in his long and respected career. Everyone who lived through, or yearns for, a simpler time filled with good fun and good friends will enjoy Land of the Porcupine .« less
