She married Dave Jackson (1902-1978), a game warden, at Umsaskis Lake in the Allagash Wilderness area in 1932. In 1938 he was promoted to chief warden of the Allagash District and the couple moved back to the family farm at Allagash Plantation, where schooling was available for their three children born while they lived on Umsaskis Lake.
Jackson began to write about her experiences, and My Life in the Maine Woods was first published in 1954. She also wrote a popular newspaper column, “The Wisdom of the Timberlands” for a northern Maine newspaper.
The Jacksons spent their final years living near their daughter’s family in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. Annette died in 1971 at the age of 65.lihat lebih sedikit
