Professional Reviews

Maine Mining Adventures
'Stevens captures the drama with a polished and perceptive writing style. The result is a window in the world of mining in Maine."






Douglas Watts, 'Maine Times'
Maine Mining Adventures
"Seldom can a mineral collector find a book about people who make mineral discoveries. Here, then is a rare book...I recommend this book to all collectors of Maine minerals, especially those who don't live in the state. It presents a wonderful opportunity to get to know the collectors."
