    Lost on a Mountain in Maine
    Source: Amazon
    Author: Donn Fendler, edited by Joseph Egan
    State: ME
    From an Amazon reader: "It's a little misleading to have this billed as for "Ages 9 to 12": it's worth reading by people of any age. I'd heard the book recommended by several people that I'd hiked with in Maine, and it lived up to the recommendations, and more so. A simple story, but surprisingly moving. Read it if you plan to climb Katahdin (or climb anywhere above treeline, in the Whites, for example): beware, this could happen to you!" (1992)

    The Bronx Lost, Found, and Remembered, 1935-1975
    Source: Amazon
    Author: Stephen M. Samtur and Martin A. Jackson
    City: New York, State: NY
    From Martin Jackson: "Writing the book was a pleasure in many ways. It gave me the chance to look at lots of Bronx pictures, and thereby travel back in time to a different, and usually better, time. Nobody who lived, worked or had relatives in the Bronx is immune to the lure of nostalgia for those kinder days." (1999)
