Neil Rolde
Neil Rolde’s 2006 book, Continental Liar from the State of Maine, is a biography of James G. Blaine, the Maine politician who dominated the American political stage from just before the Civil War and almost until the twentieth century. A former Maine politician himself, Rolde is a prize-winning historian and author of Unsettled Past, Unsettled Future: The Story of Maine Indians; The Interrupted Forest: A History of Maine’s Wildlands; Maine, Down East and Different; and many other books. A former Board member of the Maine Humanities Council, Rolde won the Constance H. Carlson Public Humanities Prize in 2005.

I am from Natal-Brazil and, I am reading a book of Neil Rolde called Maine, a narrative history. To know more about the writer, I came to the web looking for more information about the author. To my surprise, he is wrinting, yet. I hope this is only the first book of Rolde I am going to read. Someday, I will go to Maine and to Mr. Rolde.
Thanks for the attention,
