Abstract
This article describes the development of the Penobscot River waterway in the period 1816-1921. It discusses the ways in which theses improvements facilitated the movement of logs through the eastern wilderness and allowed for steamboat travel from Old Town to Mattawamkeag prior to the beginning of rail service.
