New York: Harper & Brothers, (c 1912). Hardcover - A novel by this prolific Maine author and journalist, one which, like most of his books, focuses on "adventures in the big woods and sturdy outdoor life." The 'red lane' of the title refers to the smuggling routes along the 500 miles of the almost unguarded Canadian/Maine border, but the heart of this story is the romance between a US customs agent, framed for murder, and Evangeline, a young Acadian, and the story of the Acadian settlers menaced by flooding in the valley of the St. John and facing eviction from their homes. Illustrated with a frontispiece with a tissue guard and three internal plates by by Douglas Duer. An early printing (code G-O, that is, July 1914, on copyright page), bound in dark olive green cloth with gilt lettering on spine and a gilt top edge as a title in the "Tales of the Frontier" series. 399 pp.
