Maine Migrations: Arthur And Harold Sewall In The Pacific, Paul Burlin
Maine Migrations: Arthur And Harold Sewall In The Pacific, Paul Burlin
Maine History
The Sewall family of Bath, with a long tradition in Maine shipbuilding helped shape America’s expansionist Pacific vision at the turn of the century. Arthur Sewall, a vice-presidential candidate in 1896, articulated a policy of protectionism, territorial expansion in the Pacific, and free coinage of silver. Harold Sewall, consul general to Samoa and minister to Hawaii, was equally expansionist. Father and son, one a Democrat and the other a Republican, shared an understanding that events around the world had an immediate impact on hometown life in coastal Maine.
“The Acquisition Of Wealth, Or Of A Comfortable Subsistence”: The Census Of 1800 And The Yankee Migration To Maine, 1760-1825, James A. Eves
“The Acquisition Of Wealth, Or Of A Comfortable Subsistence”: The Census Of 1800 And The Yankee Migration To Maine, 1760-1825, James A. Eves
Maine History
In 1800 census-takers George Haliburton of Penobscot and Samuel Cony of Hallowell exceeded their official instructions and appended to their reports information about residents’ places of origin. This unusual addition to the rather limited census of 1800 offers insight into early migrations to the Penobscot, Kennebec, and Androscoggin valleys. Using this as a base, Jamie Eves takes a new look at New England's internal migration patterns and reevaluates the motives and meaning of the pioneering process in this formative period in Maine’s history.
Elihu B. Washburne Westward Migration In Antebellum America, Timothy B. Mahoney
Elihu B. Washburne Westward Migration In Antebellum America, Timothy B. Mahoney
Maine History
In the spring of 1840 Elihu B. Washburne (he added the “e” to his last name early in life) set out from New England to seek his fortune in the “wide, wide world. ” Eventually the young Harvard educated lawyer settled in Galena, Illinois, where other New Englanders were already shaping the fluid and diverse western society according to their own notions of genteel civilization. A representative New England migrant, Washburne participated in the creation of a self-conscious, regional middle class, with its own sense of gentlemanly conduct, its own definition of gentility, and its own aspirations for egalitarian interaction.

Navigating Women: Exploring The Roles Of Nineteenth-Century New England Sailing Wives, Constance Anne Fournier
Navigating Women: Exploring The Roles Of Nineteenth-Century New England Sailing Wives, Constance Anne Fournier
Maine History
By the mid-nineteenth century hundreds of New England women were living abroad the nation’s whaling and merchant vessels, spending months — even years - at sea. For these intrepid women, managing a family proved difficult, and the isolation from female society was trying. Yet life at sea freed them from some of the traditional forms of domestic work and allowed them to experiment with new roles – teaching, preaching, navigating, keeping logs, and at times tempering their husbands' harsh shipboard justice.

German Prisoners Of War In Maine, 1944-1946, Jules J. Arel
Maine History
Like many states during World War II, Maine faced a severe labor shortage at a time when wartime needs boosted production demands. Northern Maine farmers and paper makers used German prisoners of war to help meet these extraordinary demands. Despite early apprehensions among local people, the POW's, stationed in Houlton, remained unobtrusive. They responded well to the rigors of climate and work, and some of them formed lasting friendships with local residents.
