Smith, PhD, who writes in the afterword: \"I accompanied Edwin Tappan Adney's best friend, the late Peter L. Paul, a Maliseet Indian, to Adney's cabin at Upper Woodstock, New Brunswick. We turned left off the highway, passing through a grove of tall pines that insulated the cabin from all road noise and isolated it from civilization,\" continuing with personal insights into translation and linguistics. So the stories are all the more real. | Penobscot Traditions with Little Devil Fish by Nicholas N Smith, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
