Description
The Sandy River and Rangeley Lake Railroad played a crucial role in the early lumbering industry in North Franklin County from 1879 to 1935. To sustain the workforce, contractors relied heavily on local wildlife, including moose, caribou, and deer. However, when the Maine Warden Service was established in 1880, a law was passed prohibiting the commercial killing of wild animals for human consumption. This change had significant implications for the railroad's operations and the people who worked there. Sterling Silvanus, a game warden, and his wife Wynola were among those tasked with enforcing this new law. Against this backdrop, a mystery surrounding Kirby Morgan's disappearance unfolds, as Sterling Silvanus unravels the truth behind the events of the past.
