Abstract
The author describes how elms were planted as "Liberty Trees" in Colonial Massachusetts, which included Maine. When the author's own elm trees in the town of Addison began to succumb to Dutch elm disease, neighbors said the wood was too difficult to split. He used it for firewood anyway, and milled planks found their way into three boats and a set of kitchen cupboards.
