Allagash is written in three parts. The first is an account of a family of Wabnaki Indians and their lives in the Allagash region nearly 1000 years ago. You will travel with these people through the region that gave them life for thousands of years. The second part is a fact and fiction account of Maine's colorful lumbering industry which started in the early 1800s. Lively lumberjack characters like Mushrat Murphy will show you the realities and the adventure, of early lumbering in Maine. In part three, Gilpatrick, a Master Maine Guide, will take you on a modern-day excursion down the waterway. This part will serve as a travel guide for the modern-day Allagash canoeist. Significant natural and historic sites, brought to life in the first two parts, are pointed out.

This is a complete overhaul and up-date of Gil's previous book on snowshoe building. The all new production features detailed frame building instructions and concise illustrations showing the lacing process step-by-step. The book was done almost entirely using modern computer technology. Each lacing illustration was computer-enhanced to make them as easy to follow as possible. "Space-age technology used to illustrate one of mankind's most ancient technologies," says the author.
