Downeast Maine Pumpkin Bread

This BREAD is ooohh so TASTY!!

I made this for Thanksgiving, I brought it to my mom's, bf's parents and the last loaf I served at my Christmas party...not a slice left!! So easy to bake, and fills the house with such a yummy scent. This recipe is from allrecipes.com (my fav recipe site). There are various substitutions that can be made to the ingredients. I took one cook's advice and substituted 2 cups brown sugar (yum) & 1 cup white, instead of 3 cups white sugar.
