Fannie Hardy Eckstorm of Brewer was the daughter of the Penobscot River fur trader Manly Hardy. Her family was personally acquainted with John Neptune (1767-1865), Lieutenant Governor of the Penobscot Nation and a powerful shaman, as well as many other native people. In this classic work, Eckstorm chronicles Neptune's life and his ancestors, and discusses the Penobscot tribe's history, politics and spiritual beliefs. Hardy accompanied her father on numerous expeditions into the Maine wilderness and developed a keen interest in the world immediately around her. She witnessed the log drives on the Penobscot and listened to the tales of the river drivers. Recently described as "an independent scholar of remarkable skill," (The Mirror of Maine) she wrote about Maine folklore and ballads, birds, lumbering, trapping, and Indian religion and language.
