A Place Apart
MPBN: Home Series, Moving Image, 00:27:01

Maine is a place apart from the mainstream of American society. Beginning early in Maine’s history, settlers, merchants, visitors, artists, and writers brought images of Maine to the rest of the world that shaped the State's economy, identity, and heritage. The history behind the image of Maine remains a vital part of how we and those from away view Maine today.

Ragged Lake, Maine
Maine Historical Society, Still Image

John Hall and Herbert Washington in a canoe on Ragged Lake, Maine. A trophy Maine whitetail buck is transported by canoe back to camp following a successful hunt at Ragged Lake, Maine in the late summer of 1887. The remote, rugged terrain, trophy brook trout, and abundant game had made Ragged Lake a favorite destination of John Dunn and his hunting companions from the early 1880s to the early 1900s. A trip to this remote lake would require a day or more of travel by horse and canoe from Moosehead Lake.
