Product Information

"A thorough and engaging history of Maine's rocky coast and its tough-minded people." --Boston Herald " A] well-researched and well-written cultural and ecological history of stubborn perseverance." --USA Today For more than four hundred years the people of coastal Maine have clung to their rocky, wind-swept lands, resisting outsiders' attempts to control them while harvesting the astonishing bounty of the Gulf of Maine. Today's independent, self-sufficient lobstermen belong to the communities imbued with a European sense of ties between land and people, but threatened by the forces of homogenization spreading up the eastern seaboard. In the tradition of William Warner's Beautiful Swimmers , veteran journalist Colin Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good ) traces the history of the rugged fishing communities that dot the coast of Maine and the prized crustacean that has long provided their livelihood. Through forgotten wars and rebellions, and with a deep tradition of resistance to interference by people "from away," Maine's lobstermen have defended an earlier vision of America while defying the "tragedy of the commons"--the notion that people always overexploit their shared property. Instead, these icons of American individualism represent a rare example of true communal values and collaboration through grit, courage, and hard-won wisdom.

Woodard uses the fishermen of Monhegan Island as the focus for a broad historical sweep, ranging from the settlers who arrived in Maine a decade before the Mayflower landed at Plymouth, to onslaughts from Indian tribes, raids by the French and an influx of 'rusticators' who put the state on the map as an idyllic holiday destination. The author suggests that Maine's isolated lobster-fishing communities continue to embody Jefferson's Utopian vision of America--'an egalitarian republic of small, self-sufficient producers, where democracy is practiced directly by the citizens, and aristocratic privilege is unrecognized or unknown.'" -- The Economist "A beautifully considered history . . . Woodard's admiration for lobster culture is stirring . . . [Mainers'] feisty pluck remains undiminished in the face of obstacles." -- Newsday "Woodard doesn't disguise his pique with the forces at work. Maine is worth fighting for--as is any village with distinctly etched local character and community." -- The Christian Science Monitor "Thought-provoking . . . Woodard is a talented writer, a skilled journalist. . . . lively reading for history buffs . . . an important book for any Maine lover's bookshelf." -- Bangor Daily News "Meticulous . . .For those who received the sanitized version of American history in elementary school, the truth comes as a bit of a shock." --The Ottowa Review "A feast . . . Woodard uses the lobster to tell the whole history of Maine." -- Working Waterfront "Highly engaging, intelligent." -- Down East "A stellar informal history . . . The Lobster Coast is a cautionary tale, superbly told, riveting and deserving of much attention. It is a primer for land use, conservation, and the effects of bad politics." --The Kingston Observer (Massachusetts) "Fascinating . . . horrifying account of political intrigue and bloody battles between French and English, Indians and English, colonists and just about everybody else, all of which, for better or for worse, shaped the Down East Yankee character . . . I'd make The Lobster Coast required reading." --Bar Harbor Times "A rocketing speed-boat ride through Maine's history--with an underlying engine hum of ecological awareness and concern." --Maine Harbors " The Lobster Coast tells the lobster's tale in satisfying depth and breadth. . . . Woodard writes about his native state and its ungainly mascot with grace and authority, shining a clear light through the mystery and lore that have long surrounded both." --Northern Sky News "Lucid...engaging." -- Publishers Weekly "A triumph." -- Bookpage, [A] well-researched and well-written cultural and ecological history of stubborn perseverance.
