A colorful New England minister with an off-beat sense of humor & a passion for the Maine wilderness reflects on his life. Those with a bit of Huck Finn in them will be immediately captured by the freedom of this man's spirit & the love he showed for God, family & nature. But mostly it is his hearty sense of humor, openly laughing at himself & his closest friends as he describes their many wild, but innocent antics, coupled with his clear memories of the smallest details, that make each tale captivating. "That Man Tate" talks about his love for Maine's Allagash wilderness, a lumbering community, & its impact on his ministry. In vivid detail, he describes the Allagash of the 1940's & his sadness over the destruction of its woods with the advent of modern lumbering equipment. Through the years, he stayed connected to this region through annual hunting trips. For "That Man Tate", going into the wilderness was almost like a religious experience & he preached about the woods when he returned. There's a subtle, but powerful, message regarding the irreparable damage inflicted on nature by man.
