But before he can leave, two federal agents show up at his door and arrest him. On the bus to the prison camp, Usher meets Jake Gray, a Vietnam veteran. Jake already has plans to escape and since Usher is a former military pilot, Jake enlists him in the plan. Jake's sister, Marie is their outside contact. Their effort to escape is played out against an increasingly fascist United States, to which they realize they can never return, even if they do make it safely across the northern border and find refuge there.

Dr. Robert C. Williams retired to Lovell, Maine, and has used his educational background combined with his love of history and finely-honed writing skills to produce this history of the town of Lovell. Read this book and follow the settlement from the survey of the Merrimack River in 1652 through the famous battle at Pequawket in 1725 to the current struggle between the forces of development and preservation. Williams haunted local archives and state collections of Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire to produce this comprehensive history. The writing is enlivened by current and historical photos and illustrations. Lovewell's Town provides entertainment and insight for the serious Maine historian or local history buff. For the historical researcher Williams has added a very thorough index. About the author: Dr. Robert C. Williams (Ph. D., Harvard, 1966) is a semi-retired historian and the author of numerous books and articles in modern Russian, European, and American history.
