Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History and Description of New England Maine This volume, which is intended to furnish a good historical and descriptive account of every town and important plantation in Maine, from the earliest settlement to the present time, forms one of a series upon all the New England States. The matter has been prepared from State documents, town records, actual observation, conversation with citizens, and a wide range of correspondence. The information respecting the plantations was gathered from entirely reliable sources, and will be of particular interest, not only to the people of Maine who desire to see a knowledge of the rich settling lands in this State published more Widely, but to all who wish to find a good opening for themselves or their friends, in the pursuits of agriculture or the mechanic arts, iii a territory which God has adorned with beauty and luxuriance, with the prospect of a sure reward. A list of the post-offices not contained in the body of the work is added, which, with the villages in each town, can be readily found in the copious index. The names of all the Senators and Representatives in Congress, from the organization of the State to the present time, as well as the Electors of President, the Governors and candidates for the gubernatorial office, together with the respective dates of election and terms of service, and the popular vote for each, are set forth in conveniently arranged tables. These are the result of much labor, and will be of service not to the politician alone, but to every one who wishes to have at hand so important an accompaniment of the civil history of the Commonwealth. The "Dirigo" State having now attained the fortieth year of her age, although, with a single exception, the youngest of the Atlantic sisters, is sufficiently advanced to be more widely introduced to the World. In fact, through her hardy and enterprising sons, in every clime, the mother´s fame is increasing. With a view to contribute to a better acquaintance with her moral, intellectual, and pecuniary worth, this work is respectfully submitted.
