Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 19: Containing the Baxter Manuscripts This volume, even more than the preceding, discloses the depredations to which the scattered coast settlements of Maine were subjected during the long war of the Revolution. With a coast line too long for the Massachusetts Government to adequately protect, the more remote communities were ever exposed to extinction, hence their persistent, and almost futile cries, for assistance. As we read there always seems to be a chronic state of inefficiency on the part of the Massachusetts Government, and we can but suspect that some of those whose names shine on the roll of fame as patriots, have been overestimated; indeed, we know that then as now, there were men in control of important government positions, who regarded their public duties with a more languid interest than they did their political honors. We should, however, keep in mind the fact that through the entire war, those at the head of affairs in Boston were always at their wits end to obtain supplies necessary to maintain a defensive position, and were continually appealing to the General Government for help. It was fortunate for us that the offensive operations of the enemy were managed with such evident inefficiency; had they not been, our history would have worn another aspect.
