‘Historical Atlas of Maine’ Called Ambitious, Fascinating in George Smith Review
The “Historical Atlas of Maine,” a geographical and historical interpretation of the state from the end of the last ice age to 2000, was recently reviewed on GeorgeSmithMaine.com. “It’s so big it’s hard to pick up, but it’s even harder to put down,” the review states of the book that culminates a 15-year scholarly project led by University of Maine researchers. “While the text is certainly informative and interesting, you will spend a lot of time studying the amazing maps and charts,” Smith writes.
