- "...a rich, lively, cross-grained treasure of a book that everyone interested in the history of our region should explore. Almost 70 writers were enlisted in this effort, which proves a good thing in this instance. The authors do not come to the same conclusions, with some frequency, and this, from the cultural historian's vantage, is an extremely healthy sign.... History is an amazing and tricky thing, and Voyages takes us further than we have gone before." William David Barry, Maine Sunday Telegram
