The Family Heirloom Edtion is the new enhanced version of Jack Ahern's 2008 sold out book. This book has a new hard cover and is printed on higher quality paper. It has 22 more pages than the first book and has approximately 50 new images, including photos of Theodore Roosevelt and many of the Munsungun guides, along with images of Native American artifacts. It also has a larger index to include the new material.
Jack Ahern made his first visit to the Maine woods on a hunting trip to Ripogenus Dam in 1947. After visiting Munsungun Lake at the headwaters of the Aroostook River in 1956, he became a regular guest at the Bradford Camps and has continued to hunt and fish this area for over forty years.
While at these camps, many yarns are spun during both the fishing and hunting season. He realized that there was a great deal of history that could be either lost or recorded for future generations. It was evident that the older guides and the camp owners were eager to reminisce about their early years in these Maine wood. These are those stories and tall tales.
