Wild Folk is a novel written by Samuel Scoville and published in 1922. The book follows the story of a young man named John Endicott, who is sent to live with his uncle in the remote wilderness of Maine. There, he meets a group of people who live off the land and are known as the ""wild folk.""As John becomes more involved with the wild folk, he learns about their way of life and their struggles to survive in the harsh wilderness. He also becomes embroiled in a conflict between the wild folk and a group of developers who want to build a dam that would flood their land.Throughout the book, Scoville explores themes of conservation, environmentalism, and the clash between traditional ways of life and modern development. The characters in the book are richly drawn, and the setting of the Maine wilderness is vividly portrayed.Overall, Wild Folk is a compelling and thought-provoking novel that offers a glimpse into a world that is rapidly disappearing.
