Eagles Over the Kennebec

Don't know if anyone watches Book TV on weekends on C Span. Just watching a piece on the State Library of Maine in Augusta Maine. One collection of books is by authors with a connection to Maine. Can be the author lives in Maine like Stephen King. And his son Joe Hill (is it?)who no longer lives in Maine but the library still claims him. The Libe tries to get the books signed. I'd imagine Lee and Miller are there......Pride of the collection is a first edition of the Book of Mormon, five thousand copies printed in 1830. And you can ask to see it. They'll get it out of the safe for you. Very very few kept in libaries. Also a book you can't see: the hand written diary of Martha Ballard ( I believe I've got the name right) a ME midwife just after the American Revolution,. Also a hand written copy in book form which the copier called "A Midwife's Tale". the librarian on TV says the book is really interesting. Don't know how one could read it though. Maybe it will get a modern copy published now that it has been on national TV.
