In “Gary Dumond Remembers: Maine Warden Pilots”, fellow pilot Jake Morrel interviews Gary about his experiences during a twenty year career as a pilot, as well as stories both men have been told over the years. They talk about a wide range of topics, from deep woods crash landings, working beaver trappers on the Canadian border, finding lost hunters, recovering bodies, stocking fish, and keeping planes running in the brutal weather conditions and remote setting of the Maine woods.

These are genuine stories of real experiences in the northern Maine woods. They represent real people who had the courage to follow their dreams. It is an authentic account of northern Maine culture unspoiled by modern conveniences and advertising billboards. It is about the adventures of a man and family who lived these experiences, right here in Maine. It is well written with a dash of humor, colorful language, and depicts reality with its strengths and weaknesses but most of all its great beauty. It also has an extensive glossary explaining sportsman terms, plane vocabulary, and Maine forest terms. In addition, the book has a wonderful selection of photographs of the old 1941 Taylorcraft plane he learned on, and many photos in color of camp sites and activities surrounded by the natural beauty of Maine.  I loved the book and found it refreshing and uplifting. It gave me new energy. I recommend it highly.
