Life and Times of Pleasant Pond: Island Falls, Aroostook County, Maine

This delightful book chronicles the lives of families who settled in Maine's northernmost county, Aroostook, and developed one of the area's most treasured bodies of water, Pleasant Pond, in Island Falls. Theodore Roosevelt discovered Island Falls in 1878 and enjoyed three visits to the home and hunting camp of his lifelong friend, William Sewall, one of the town's original settlers. Through the joint efforts of President Teddy Roosevelt and Maine's former Governor Llewellyn Powers, the woodlands around this area of Aroostook County are protected and are held within a land trust.
