Beginning with 1623, he spends the remaining 500-plus pages spinning a chronological history of Portland and the surrounding area through the mid-19th century. The author's ability to strike a good balance among the various types of history-social, political, religious and armed conflict-is one reason for the success of this volume. The discussion of numerous individuals who played a role in and influenced the development of the region, such as Governor Robert Gorges, John Winter, Arthur Macworth, Governor Shirley and Governor Andros, to name a few, is another. Conflicts with the displaced Indian peoples were prevalent and came to a head during the First Indian (or Philip's) and Second Indian Wars of the late 17th century. These wars and their effects upon the populace and further settlement have received due attention, as have the later wars such as the French and Indian Wars, the Revolutionary War, the War with Tripoli and the War of 1812.

The elder man had had a grand vision of developing the timber and mineral resources of the tract (210,000 acres, or over 320 square miles), but had been repeatedly thwarted by climatic and environmental obstacles. Even though his personal efforts died with him in 1803, his heirs attempted for decades afterwards to carry out his vision. Descriptions of floods, summer frosts and other difficulties in the diaries demonstrate that even after the removal of the British and Indian threats following the War of 1812, most efforts to transform the Adirondack forests to agricultural and commercial pursuits (such as the iron manufacturing described in the diaries) were doomed to failure. John Brown Francis was in his twenties when he wrote these accounts in 1816, 1817 and 1818. \"[F]rom tavern keepers and toll collectors to farmers' daughters and land barons, little of the human condition escapes the eye of the youthful annalist.

A helpful appendix lists (alphabetically) all of the ministers mentioned in the book, including the denomination, location of the ministry, and dates during which he practiced in that area.

Bennett, Curator of Collections at the Bethel Historical Society, Inc., True's history is recognized as one of the earliest and most significant efforts of its type to appear in Maine before the Civil War. Included is information on land grants, the settlement of the upper Androscoggin River valley, town meetings, church history, biography, and the famous \"Last Indian Raid\" in New England, which took place in Bethel in 1781. Regarding Indians, Dr. True provides a wealth of data about the Ossipee, Pequawket, and Anasguniticook tribes of western Maine and northern New Hampshire, with special attention paid to the Indian language and its English translation. In some of his sketches of Bethel's pioneer families, he provides genealogical information. Chapters include: Sudbury Canada Grant; Joseph Twitchell; Proprietors and Surveys; Early Settlers; Indians and the 1781 Raid; Molly Ockett; Matalluck; Other Indians of Note; Block Houses; Plantation Record; 1785 Freshet; Notable Residents; Hunting; Act of Incorporation; Ecclesiastical History; Physicians; Lawyers; Ministers; Education; Revolutionary Soldiers; Resident Proprietors in Lower Parish; Politics; Village of Bethel Hill; and, Geology, Natural History and Botany. Also included is a selection of period illustrations provided by the Bethel Historical Society, Inc. A full-name index adds to the value of this work.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNathaniel T. True; Randall H.

In the past eighty years, the rate of change has been rapid indeed. Leeds has been transformed from a town of small family farms, isolated and intimate, into a diverse, diffuse residential community. When told by the generation whose lives have spanned these changes, the story is one of substantial gains: gains in educational opportunities, in work choices, in material comforts, and in access to the world beyond Leeds' borders. But the story is one of losses as well: the loss of an intimately known landscape and community, the loss of certain circumscribed ways of life and ways of looking at life.\" Residents speak of \"a loss of innocence, a loss of Eden.\" The first portion of the work, \"The Lay of the Land,\" examines geography, transportation and neighborhoods.

Thousands of men from what is now Maine served in the Revolutionary War, but they did so alongside men from Massachusetts and in units identified as Massachusetts regiments. Together, these men fought in nearly every key engagement of the war, including: the siege of Boston, invasion of Canada, and defense of New York in 1775-76, and the battles of Trenton, Princeton, Hubbardton, Saratoga, Monmouth, Rhode Island, Newtown, Stony Point, and finally, Yorktown.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAlthough much of Maine's contribution to the Revolutionary War occurred outside its borders, significant events like the seizure of the Margaretta in Machias, and the British destruction of Falmouth (Portland), brought the war home to Maine.

Walker kept accounts with many of the people in the area as shown in this book. A work of this nature does not contain a great deal of genealogical data per se, but numerous inferences can be drawn from the entries. For example, many of the boot and shoe records are highly suggestive, as when Russell Charles is billed for footware for \"Solomon and Peter\", who apparently were his sons. In other cases the record only shows they were for \"your son,\" \"your wife,\" \"your mother,\" etc. Among the most prominent surnames in the ledger are: Abbot(t), Chandler, Charles, Eastman, Farington, Johnson, McIntire, Pride, Walker, Whit(t)aker, Whitting, and Wyman.

However, the area was the subject of several conflicting grants, and little permanent settlement took place until the Pejepscot Company was formed in 1714. The towns of Brunswick and Topsham were constituted townships by the General Court in 1717, but were not incorporated until much later. Harpswell was originally part of North Yarmouth, had been appended to Brunswick for a short time, and was finally incorporated as a separate town in 1758. This huge history covers the entire area developed by the Pejepscot Proprietors from the time of the aboriginal inhabitants down to the late nineteenth century. All the usual historical topics are covered, including such fascinating items as criminals and the courts, taverns and public halls, modes of travel and means of communication, schools, churches, forts and garrison, and commercial, municipal, and military history of the towns. In addition, there are about three hundred pages devoted to biographies, family histories, and various civil and military lists. There are numerous illustrations and maps as well.

With 1623 as the beginning date, he spends the remaining 500-plus pages spinning a chronological history of Portland and the surrounding area through the middle of the 19th century. The author's ability to strike a good balance among the various types of history-social, political, religious and armed conflict-is one reason for the success of this volume. The discussion of numerous individuals who played a role in and influenced the development of the region, such as Governor Robert Gorges, John Winter, Arthur Macworth, Governor Shirley and Governor Andros to name a few, is another. Conflicts with the displaced Indian peoples were prevalent and came to a head during the First Indian (or Philip's) and Second Indian Wars of the late 17th century. These wars and their effects upon the populace and further settlement have received due attention, as have the later wars such as the French and Indian Wars, the Revolutionary War, the War with Tripoli and the War of 1812.
