Porter Fox 
Northland: A 4, 000-Mile Journey Along America’s Forgotten Border [EPUB ebook] 

Soporte

“Romantic, urgent, valuable and appealing as hell.” —Andrew Mc Carthy, New York Times Book Review

Writer Porter Fox spent three years exploring 4, 000 miles of the border between Maine and Washington, traveling by canoe, freighter, car, and foot. In Northland, he blends a deeply reported and beautifully written story of the region’s history with a riveting account of his travels. Setting out from the easternmost point in the mainland United States, Fox follows explorer Samuel de Champlain’s adventures across the Northeast; recounts the rise and fall of the timber, iron, and rail industries; crosses the Great Lakes on a freighter; and traces the forty-ninth parallel from Minnesota to the Pacific Ocean. He weaves in his encounters with residents, border guards, Indian activists, and militia leaders to give a dynamic portrait of the northland today, wracked by climate change, water wars, oil booms, and border security.
