As big as the other five New England states
combined, MAINE barely has the population of tiny Rhode Island. In theory,
therefore, there's plenty of room for its massive summer influx of
visitors; in reality, the majority of these make for the southern
stretches of the extravagantly corrugated coast . You only really begin to
appreciate the size and space of the state further north, or inland ,
where vast tracts of mountainous forest are dotted with lakes, and barely
pierced by roads - more like the Alaskan interior than the RV-cluttered
roads of the Vermont and New Hampshire mountains, and ideal territory for
hiking and canoeing (and moose spotting).
Although Maine is in many ways inhospitable - the Algonquin called it "Land of the Frozen Ground" - it has been in contact with Europe ever since the arrival of the Vikings , around 1000 AD. For the navigator Verrazano, in 1524, the "crudity and evil manners" of the Indians made this the "Land of Bad People," but before long European fishermen were setting up camps each summer to dry their catch. Francis Bacon in turn said that the English were "worse than the very Savages, impudently lying with their Women, teaching their men to drink drunke, and & to fall together by the eares." |
