A Book from My Past Comes to Life 0
One of my favorite books when I was a kid was produced by that same potboiler mill that produced the Tom Swift series. My father had several of their output, old books from the 1920s and 1930s that my father had read and that my grandparents had stuffed in boxes in the attic. There were a few Tom Swifts, a couple of Bobbsey Twins, a Destroyer Boys (set in WWI), and maybe a few others.
That book was The Golden Boys Up the Allagash about the adventures of Bob and Jack Golden as they canoe their way up the Allagash river in Maine. (Unfortunately, I can’t find a link about the Golden Boys series, as the internet is too crowded with links to some Aussie book and TV shows from the 2000s with the same title.) The physical books I read, of course, are now long gone.
Anyway, thanks to an article in the Portland Press-Herald, I have once again been able to go, if only for a short while, up the Allagash.
