THE MEN BEHIND THE 1836 MOOSEHEAD
“The Forks of the Kennebec” program & book signing by Marilyn Sterling-Gondek
6 p.m. at Shaw Public Library

Come hear about the first steamboat to ply Moosehead waters, by author Marilyn Sterling-Gondek, a first-rate researcher and historian. Marilyn will tell untold stories about the 1836 Moosehead, plus have copies of her hot-of-the-press book about the men who were speculating and settling the region.  The Moosehead area’s earliest logging operations were economically and culturally tied to The Forks, where logs sluiced from East Outlet of Moosehead Lake tumbled their way down the East Branch to the junction of the Dead and Kennebec rivers.  In the Forks of the Kennebec, author and historian Marilyn Sterling-Gondek has gathered details about the first steamboat on Moosehead Lake, and about the men who pioneered early efforts at large-scale logging in the region.  The steamboat Moosehead was put into service in 1836 by a group of men that included Moses Burnham and Samuel Fitzgerald.  It was for them that the two ponds at the foot of Squaw (now Big Moose) Mountain were named.
