through iconic regions come to life through personal essay, local interviews, historical anecdote and artist illustrations. In the NEW ENGLAND field guide, see the real thing through expert itineraries across Connecticut countryside, Rhode Island sailing ports, small-town Massachusetts, Vermont's and New Hampshire's charming backroads and the rocky coast of Maine. This 145-page, back pocket companion shares the stories of lighthouse keepers, jazz impresarios, covered bridge experts, literature professors, boat captains, general store keepers and more. No guide exists of its kind, combining lore and intel, inspiring stories and curated recommendations. Wildsam guides read like letters from an old friend. Your road trip will never be the same. "I was halfway across America," Jack Kerouac writes, "at the dividing line between the East of my Youth and the West of my future."
