"reminiscences OF the Seventies


Edgar Nodine. proprietor Of the
High Twelve Camps at Rowe Pond
has lately received the following in
teresting letter:
Portland, Ne. May II, 1924
My dear Mr.. Nodine.
| was very much pleased to receive
your letter OF April 22nd enclosing
copy from William L. Fletcher of let
ter written by him Oh the 23rd to DR..
Irving J. Walker.
Ii may be interesting to you to
know that in the late seventies before
a permanent camp Was ever thought
of at Rowe Pond that | was one of
party of four railway men connected
with the Maine Central Railroad at
WaterYille who visited Rowe Pond on
fishing trip taking tents and sup
plies with us.
We drove to Bingham and to Haleys
in double rugged mountain wagon
at which point we left our team and
our supplies were hauled into Rowe s
Pond on a drag or stone boat pro-
PEELED by yoke Of oxen, the party Of
course walking in.
We arrived at Haleys late in the at
ternoon or early evening and spent
4 tiiS IiiblIL AitiN anu t7pi iiANC '''N ~.
around noon the next day and spent
the afternoon setting up tents and
getting ready for our stay.
! | do not remember particularly
about the boats but think we had two
old fiat bottomed affairs which served
tine purpose very we'll We spent
about ten days there and certainly
had a royal good time and splendid
fishing. That trip was really the
first of many that followed into the
wilds of Maine and will never be for
gotten by me.
While we were there party OF
four friends came in and stayed with
us over night and with the exception
of one other than myself they have all
passed over. Ny next visit was a
good many years later after camps
had been erected and l do not re-
member as to who ran the camps at
that time. Possibly it might have
been yourself.
1t that time Il number OF our Port
land friends were there, Walter Sabln
wife and son. Henry Whitman and
wife of Augusta and quite party OF
Springfield, Massachusetts people
friends of the Sabins.
Mrs. Clay was with ME on this trif
ard we certainly enjoyed our visil
very much and while ! have Otter
thought and wished that | could visi
