	Nye, Belle Spaulding This is where mother sat down to die Coastal Publishing Co., Inc., undated From the preface... "One result of the construction of Wyman Dam situated on the Kennebe River between Baker Mountain on the east and Fletcher Mountain on the west was the formation of Lake Wyman, stretching from Moscow and Pleasant Ridge, two miles north of Bingham to Caratunk, a distance of fifteen miles. Another result was the complete obliteration of everything within reach of the water... From the time that the valley was inundated, I was filled with a desire to write about the manner of life that existed there, and the actifvities of the people of those long ago days."
