Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Maine in War, Organization and Officers of the Society, What the Society Has Accomplished Maine, although a province of Massachusetts until 1820, has a history of its own. Maine men have always stood shoulder to shoulder with the sons of the old mother Commonwealth and they share in the glory of her history. Nobly have they borne the responsibilities of their times. The early settlers, as civilization demanded, bravely contested with the savages the right to occupy our rugged soil, and the story of their lives is one of heroism. In 1690, nearly all were driven from the province, but their sons and grandsons returned and reoccupied the abandoned homesteads. The siege of Louisburg, in 1745, was suggested by a Maine man, William Vaughan. Gen. William Pepperrell, a Maine man, commanded the troops, and a considerable portion of the officers and men were from the province. Gen. Pepperrell was knighted for the wonderful success of that expedition. Sons of Maine served bravely during the campaigns of the seven years´ war, and at the first alarm from Lexington they grasped their muskets and marched at once to Cambridge. At Machias, the gallant men of that little settlement gave us, on June 12, 1775, "the Lexington of the seas." At the siege of Boston, Maine men did valiant service in the trenches, and of the soldiers who heroically checked the advance of the British army at Hubbardton, one-fourth were from the province of Maine.
