The Big-Little World Of Doc Pritham

The little world is not hard to find. Take any road into Maine. Follow Route 15 to Greenville. If you are a beauty hound, stop about seven miles out of town and feast your eyes on twenty-two mountains marching along along the horizon. Stop again at Indian Hill Farm for your first view of Moosehead Lake, which Thoreau described nearly 120 years ago as "a suitably wild-looking sheet of water, sprinkled with small low islands, covered shaggy spruce and other wildwood." Though its wilderness may be somewhat tempered, its pristine beauty remains unchanged, its blue-clear waters unpolluted. Remember later to climb Blair Hill and revel in the view at sunset.
