This fast-paced and fascinating story, originally published in 1983, covers a vital part of coastal Maine's history too long overlooked: the cultural history of the Penobscot, Kennebec, Saco, and Damariscotta Rivers. More than three hundred years are covered, from the days of pioneer settlers, sea captains, river men, and lumberjacks, to the shipbuilders, merchants, and lumber barons who made millions from Maine's vast natural and human resources.

Rivers of Fortune

From Grand Manaan to Mount Desert to the Isles of Shoals on the New Hampshire border, sixty-eight light-houses stand along the coast of Maine and her rivers. In his conversational way, Bill Caldwell leads his readers on an historical tour of all the Maine lighthouses. In Bill's hands the legends, lore, and history of the impressive signals come to life. Black and white photos or drawings of individual light-houses in many of the sections add to the experience.Maine's lighthouses are symbolic of her proud maritime heritage and of a way of life that has long passed. Who better to pass on the traditions than master storyteller Bill Caldwell?

A beautifully illustrated story of one mans spiritual journey of enlightenment along with his beautiful and uplifting photographic art of the natural places he visited, rendered in his unique artistic style. This is not a complete autobiography, but rather a brief collection of memorable events and crossroads that helped shape his spiritual journey along with the story of the lessons he learned and what he came to believe. After earning his BA degree in industrial and scientific photography in 1978, Bill Caldwell spent 20 years in the US Air Force as a Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) navigator. Now he's pursuing his lifelong love of landscape and artistic photography along with his enduring interest in spirituality including certification in Integrated Energy Therapy (IET). He believes that one of the reasons we are all here in the physical world is for the purpose of spiritual growth and expansion, and other people who are also on a spiritual path will benefit from reading his story. "If there's anything I've learned during my life, it's that there's much more going on in the world and the universe than meets the eye. Much more going on than our five senses or scientific instruments will show you, much more than any religion will tell you, much more than most people are aware of or can imagine. The universe is a fantastic and mysterious place. This is my story."
