AlbakiReads Editorial

Fatal misadventures in Acadia

Acadia National Park’s varied terrain and outdoor activities form the backdrop for this account of deaths and mishaps within the park. Randi Minetor gathers incidents involving falls, exposure, cardiac arrest and being swept out to sea, presenting dozens of cases connected to both outdoor pursuits and visits to the park. The subject links the appeal of a popular national park with the hazards that can accompany time in its mountains and along its Atlantic coast. The book is a collection of documented incidents, organized around fatalities and misadventures in Acadia rather than a general guide to the park.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in Acadia National Park and its history
  • For those drawn to accounts of outdoor accidents and survival hazards
  • For readers curious about the risks associated with hiking, climbing and coastal recreation

Book overview

Maine Acadia National Park is one of the most visited national parks in the United States. It is an adventure seeker's paradise. Hiking, climbing, snowshoeing, back-country skiing, and ice-climbing are among the activities pursued there; as well as the less extreme sight seeing along the Park Road and Atlantic coast. Death in Acadia gathers the stories of fatalities that have occurred in the park, from falls to exposure to cardiac arrest--even getting swept out to sea--and presents dozens of misadventures.
