I really love Sheldon's Tranquility books.My favorite story of all time is the story of the funeral for the major who came to live in their village after the civil war.Sheldon talks about how important he was to the people there,particularly the war veterans.In the final paragraph he has the local band play the major's favorite song one last time for him.It was "Dixie".Makes you kinda misty eyed.

The name of that story is "Not Without Honor." One of my favorites too.

This book, just finished last night, is only for people who love old stories of Fly-in Lodges, and Bush flying in Northern Maine.
Jake Morrell worked for Max Folsom, perhaps the most famous Maine Float pilot, then he and his wife started "Hardscrabble Lodge"; the name of the book.
Turns out, I drive by the guy's retirement home every trip to Greenville.
The book is published by Maine Authors Publishing and Cooperative

I love books that 'sound' like stories from around the woodstove, favorite drink in hand.
