Marco Paul and his tutor Forester travel up the Kennebec into the forests of Maine, where loggers fell the great pines and drive them down the rivers. Between a lost bucket, a raft, a desert island and a bear in the mill, Marco learns how trees grow, how timber is cut and how a frontier economy works.
