""Kin of Ktaadn: Verse Stories of the Plain Folk Who Are Keeping Bright the Old Home Fires Up in Maine"" is a collection of poems written by Holman F. Day and published in 1904. The book features stories about the people who live in the rural areas of Maine and the challenges they face as they try to maintain their way of life. The title refers to Mount Katahdin, the highest peak in Maine, and the kinship that exists among the people who live in the shadow of the mountain. The poems are written in a dialect that reflects the speech patterns of the people in the region, and they offer a glimpse into the daily lives, struggles, and triumphs of the people who call Maine home. The book is a tribute to the resilience, strength, and perseverance of the working-class people of Maine, and it remains a beloved classic of regional literature to this day.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
