History Of The State Of Maine; From Its First Discovery, A. D. 1602, To The Separation, A. D. 1820, Inclusive, William D. Williamson

Maine History Documents

AN authentic History of this State has been long and much desired. Maine is a corner-pillar in the American Republic. Its territory equals one half of New-England,—its natural resources are great and various—its climate is good—its population now considerably exceeds 400,000,—and only two individual States have a greater extent of seaboard or more shipping. Several settlements have existed within its limits, more than two centuries; through which period, as plantations have spread and multiplied, it has been the destiny of successive generations to struggle with wars and difficulties reiterated and uncommon, and to wade through sufferings deep and indescribable.

Sketches Of Oxford County, Thomas T. Stone

Maine History Documents

I will imagine a scene ; it is among, the loveliest in a world, which has innumerable joys mingled with its many sorrows. I remember such an one in my childhood, and how I loved it. It was in early spring or autumn, when, after the toil or play of the day, I came into the house which my mother had prepared for the evening; a brisk fire from the hearth playing on the windows and ceiling; my mother smiling on her talkative children as they gathered around her; my father resting from his day's work, and their little- ones …

Published By Old Planters, The Authors Of The Old Mens Tears., Joshua Scottow, Paul Royster (Transcribed & Edited By)

Joshua Scottow Papers

This edition of A Narrative of the Planting of the Massachusets Colony Anno 1628 is based on the first edition published in Boston in 1694. The spelling, orthography, punctuation, and capitalization of the original have been retained; only obvious typographical errors have been corrected. Scottow's Narrative is the sequel to Old Mens Tears for their Own Declensions, published three years earlier. It is an expansion of the argument that God and history are being unkind to New England because its churches have strayed from the strict practice of the unanimously-minded early founders of the Congregational Way. Scottow treats of …
