{"product_id":"b076mn98fm","title":"Northland: A 4,000-Mile Journey Along America's Forgotten Border","description":"\u003cp\u003e“Romantic, urgent, valuable and appealing as hell.” ―Andrew McCarthy,  New York Times Book Review\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWriter Porter Fox spent three years exploring 4,000 miles of the border between Maine and Washington, traveling by canoe, freighter, car, and foot. In  Northland , he blends a deeply reported and beautifully written story of the region’s history with a riveting account of his travels. Setting out from the easternmost point in the mainland United States, Fox follows explorer Samuel de Champlain’s adventures across the Northeast; recounts the rise and fall of the timber, iron, and rail industries; crosses the Great Lakes on a freighter; and traces the forty-ninth parallel from Minnesota to the Pacific Ocean. He weaves in his encounters with residents, border guards, Indian activists, and militia leaders to give a dynamic portrait of the northland today, wracked by climate change, water wars, oil booms, and border security.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e5 maps\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANT","offers":[{"title":"Ebook","offer_id":52835280027864,"sku":"YSL58183","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0835\/3356\/2072\/files\/71JxC5cy84L._SY1500.jpg?v=1793263410","url":"https:\/\/www.bookmebay.com\/products\/b076mn98fm","provider":"BookMebay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
