Excerpt from The Maine Spencers: A History and Genealogy, With Mention of Many Associated Families In recalling the lives of our ancestors it has been my effort to give nothing that would tend to mislead the judgment of the reader, or create an undue conception of the magnitude of the undertaking. Three hundred years is no inconsiderable period to review with regard to personal history, much less with hopes of literary success. The investigation is rendered more difficult from the fact of its being a search in a new country for a family, whose name is old enough to be widely disseminated as a patronymic. As we cannot in this enlightened age, like the ancients, pretend to be sprung from gods, Ave must have a lineage bearing our present name extending back to the remote ages, even to the days of William the Conqueror. It may seem incredible that our ancestors have lived in this country since the time of Shakespeare and Spenser, the great poet.

Fishing guide and award-winning author Randy Spencer weaves a spell with quirky, colorful residents, fish-out-of-water tourists, native traditions, and a large helping of absolute wonder. Written On Water is an extraordinary collection of tales about the part of Maine that truly is, as those who reside there call it, the “back of the beyond.” With its assemblage of quirky characters who live far off the beaten path, and consider fishing to be a sacred art, the beautiful, watery, down-east Grand Lake Stream (population 132) has been hallowed ground since the 1800s. Written On Water takes us to a place where very old ways of life have persisted and, against all odds, the velocity of modern life has not yet invaded its shores and lakes, pines and canoes, and most importantly, its citizens. The unlikely survival of such a place in the twenty-first century is remarkable, as is the oral history that has survived with it. Award-winning author and master Maine guide, Randy Spencer, shares this insightful collection of colorful oral histories, teeming with drama, mysteries, and laugh-out-loud moments about eccentric and lovable individuals. In poignant and frequently hilarious prose, Spencer brings us “fish stories”—tales of the author’s experience guiding “sports” on fishing excursions—as well as stories about the quirky local residents, passed downs through generations.
