“Mr.Editor, Have We Digressed?” Newspaper Editor John Neal And The Woman Suffrage Debate, Shannon M. Risk
Maine History
In May and June of 1870, Portland newspaper editor and reformer John Neal sparked a debate over women’s suffrage that elicited strong views on women’s place in society. Neal posted a call in the Daily Eastern Argus to like-minded women and men to meet to discuss how to bring about the women’s vote. His post led to a debate in Portland’s newspapers about the idea of women’s suffrage. Several respondents expressed outrage at women’s participation in politics, fearing it would lead to society’s downfall. Although the debate died down in June, Neal’s efforts gave renewed energy to Maine suffragists. The …

Echoes Of A Distant Thunder?: The Unitarian Controversy In Maine,1734-1833, David Raymond
Maine History
The Unitarian Controversy (1734-1833) was one of the most divisive denominational separations in the annals of American church history. Historians generally have confined their study to the churches of Massachusetts proper, neglecting the vital role that Maine churches played in the various phases of the separation. Maine Congregationalists were among the first to recognize and protest the emergence of Unitarian ministers in their churches, and they took the lead in the movement to force Unitarians out of the Congregational Church. Although small in numbers, Maine churches played an important role in this significant theological controversy. The author is a History …

Florence Brooks Whitehouse And Maine’S Vote To Ratify Women’S Suffrage In 1919, Anne Gass
Maine History
In 1919, Maine faced an unusual conflict between ratifying the nineteenth amendment to the United States Constitution that would grant full voting rights to women, and approving a statewide suffrage referendum that would permit women to vote in presidential campaigns only. Maine’s pro-suffrage forces had to head off last-minute efforts by anti-suffragists to sabotage the Maine legislature’s ratification vote. Led by Florence Brooks Whitehouse, with support from Alice Paul and other National Woman’s Party organizers, suffragists fought down to the wire to ensure that Maine became the nineteenth state to ratify the federal amendment. Anne B. Gass is an independent …

From Dustbowl And Dairy Farm To Defense Housing: Understanding The Farm Security Administration Photographs Of Bath Iron Works, Rachel Miller
Maine History
In the late 1930s and early 1940s, Roy Stryker and his team of photographers at the Farm Security Administration (FSA) set out to create images of America that could bolster the spirit of the country in the midst of economic depression and international war. By 1940, photographs of small towns and America’s increasing military capability were common. In December 1940, Stryker sent photographer Jack Delano to Bath, Maine, to document the housing shortage for workers at the Bath Iron Works.

Walter Muir Whitehill, in his study Independent Historical Societies (Boston Athenæum, 1962), praised the Maine Historical Society as the most “productive of publications” of all New England historical societies during the nineteenth century. The Society produced twenty-six volumes of Collections between 1831 and 1900, eleven volumes of York Deeds between 1887 and 1896, and another twenty volumes of Collections between 1901 and 1916 — an impressive output by any standard. These many volumes, with their wealth of narrative and documentary history, are a rich resource for scholars and laymen alike.
