Forest and Shore: Or Legends of the Pine Tree State is a book written by Charles Parker Ilsley and published in 1856. The book is a collection of legends and stories set in the state of Maine, which is known as the Pine Tree State. The stories are inspired by the natural beauty of Maine's forests and shores and are told in a style that evokes the oral tradition of storytelling. The book is divided into four sections: Legends of the Forest, Legends of the Shore, The Indian's Story, and The White Man's Story. The Legends of the Forest section includes stories about the wildlife and natural wonders of Maine's forests, such as the moose and the northern lights. The Legends of the Shore section includes stories about Maine's coastal communities and their relationship with the sea, such as the legend of the ghost ship. The Indian's Story section includes stories told from the perspective of Maine's indigenous people, the Wabanaki. These stories explore their culture and beliefs, as well as their interactions with European settlers. The White Man's Story section includes stories about the early European settlers in Maine and their struggles to survive in a new and sometimes hostile environment. Overall, Forest and Shore: Or Legends of the Pine Tree State is a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of Maine, told through the lens of traditional storytelling. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the folklore and legends of New England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
