Oh sure, the tender greens of spring are sweet. The crunch of snow underfoot is crisp and satisfying. The shifting shadows of a summer walk are a delight. But really, is there any time more spectacular to hike than in autumn, in Maine?

James Henry Hammond championed the need for “a class to do the menial duties, to perform the drudgery of life. That is, a class requiring but a low order of intellect and but little skill.” Afraid of educated slaves, 19th century white Southerners made it a crime to teach slaves to read and write; and until the 1960s, southern Blacks and whites had to attend separate and unequal schools.
