About one hundred miles north of Augusta the Capital of Maine the little village of Lawrence is situated. A range of high hills skirts its western side and stretches away to the north as far as the eye can reach; while before the village toward the east flows the Kennebec River. Near the base of the hills a beautiful stream known as Glen's Creek has its source; and after winding through the adjacent meadows and reaching almost around the village finally empties into the Kennebec. Its waters are deep and clear and flow over a rough gravelly bed and under high banks and through many a little nook where the perch and sunfish love to hide. This creek about half a mile from its mouth branches off forming two streams the smaller of which flows south parallel with the river for a short distance and finally empties into it.
