Tommy Carbone

Our guest this month on Conversations from the Pointed Firs is TOMMY CARBONE, author of both fiction and non-fiction, outdoorsman, photographer, publisher, and collector of Maine lore and the work of forgotten or over-looked authors who invoke the spirit of Maine. Tommy is a son of Brooklyn, New York but has found another life in northern Maine, exploring the trails, ponds, mountains, streams and bogs. He has also found many of the authors who preceded him, reissuing the books of Dr. Lucius Lee Hubbard, Thomas S. Steele, and Fannie Hardy Eckstorm, whose book "Exploring the Maine Woods", first published as articles in Field & Stream Magazine in 1891, has been edited and annotated by Tommy in a new edition by Burnt Jacket Publishing, Greenville, Maine.
