The Voice of Getchell
Life In Behind the Mountain

Nestled in the shadows of Getchell, Bald, and Bowers Mountains, near the shores of Mill Privilege Lake, the tiny settlement known as In Behind the Mountain may not appear on any official maps, but its legacy lives on in this engaging memoir. Through humorous tales, authentic recipes, and snapshots of everyday life, The Voice of Getchell invites readers into the heart of a long-forgotten community.

 

From the logging camps of rural Maine to the kitchens and schoolhouses where women and children kept life going while the men worked in the woods, this book offers a rare glimpse into early 1900s rural life.

 

It includes short accounts of real people and events as remembered by the author's mother.
