Maine Feldspar, Families & Feuds Edited by Vandall T. King This marvelous hardcover book is a large and detailed collection of historical works involving Oxford County, Maine: its minerals, miners and its mining stories. It is certainly the first feature-length history of a granite pegmatite mining district, filled with research that documents and brings to life the characters (some shining knights, some scoundrels) and places that formed Maine's mining legacy. Early mining development of such mineralogically notable places like the Bumpus Quarry and the birth of the feldspar mill at West Paris provide a background to the personalities, economic realities and hardships experienced in this important industry. Stories of the "giant beryls", the Cummings Family Feud, the famous Lynchville intersection sign, the destruction of Albany's tax base by the government's formation of the White Mountain Nation Forest, and many other historical tidbits make for interesting reading. For a full review, see Mineral News, August, 2009 issue! This excellent work is in stock and is available at the greatly discounted price of just $25.00 plus shipping.
