The Lobster Coast: Rebels, Rusticators, and the Struggle for a Forgotten Frontier, In the tradition of William Warneršs Beautiful Swimmers, veteran journalist Colin Woodard traces the history of the rugged fishing communities that dot the coast of Maine and the prized crustacean that has long provided their livelihood. Through forgotten wars and rebellions, and with a deep tradition of resistance to interference by people "from away," Mainešs lobstermen have defended an earlier vision of America while defying the "tragedy of the commons"‹the notion that people always overexploit their shared property. Instead, these icons of American individualism represent a rare example of true communal values and collaboration through grit, courage, and hard-won wisdom.
