The natural beauty of Monhegan Island has continuously attracted generations of artists, day-trippers, and summer sojourners.

Milo, Brownville, and Lake View
ISBN: 9781531642228 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In the wilderness of Piscataquis County, rich in river power and vast with untouched forests, three communities were born. Although each is close in proximity, Milo, Brownville, and Lake View have unique histories and personalities. Milo's beginnings are based on the legend of young Theophilus Sargent, who faced the wild alone, almost perishing but for the kindness of a Native American chief and his son, Attean. One hundred years later, this survival story became the basis for Elizabeth George Speare's book Sign of the Beaver. Along with its grist- and sawmill industries, Brownville's slate...

Madison, Norridgewock, and Smithfield
ISBN: 9781531642105 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The Maine communities of Madison, Norridgewock, and Smithfield all have their own unique ties to the waters on which they were founded. Madison depends
on the waterfalls of the Kennebec River, the backbone of central Maine, to support its manufacturing roots. Wool mill operations began in 1881, but soon gave way to the still prosperous paper mill. Norridgewock also rests on the shores of the Kennebec, but lacking the falls it was able to remain true to its name, "quiet place in the river." The town remained so quiet in fact, that it lost its county seat to Skowhegan in 1871....

ISBN: 9781531642099 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Formerly a rural community on the outskirts of Boston, Lynnfield is now a modern suburb connected to the hub by the bustling Routes 1 and 128. Where there were once shoe factories and ice-harvesting facilities, there are now distribution facilities and automobile dealerships. Like so many other towns across New England, Lynnfield has entered the modern age and left little trace of its smalltown past.
It is hard to imagine that the town once accommodated stagecoach passengers in a grand hotel and entertained locals in a stunning ballroom, but local historian and photographer Warren H....

pioneer townsfolk of Lawrence were finally recognized in a charter signed by the governor of the Commonwealth.

Lake Boon
ISBN: 9781531642020 / Angielski / Twarda / 98 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Lake Boon was originally formed by a melting glacier hundreds of years ago; for most of its life it was a simple body of water hiding in the woods. But in the late 1800s, it suddenly took on a very exciting existence as a summer resort for several reasons: first, the lake was enlarged in order to provide waterpower to a nearby mill and was left in this enlarged state when the mill switched to electric power; second, two different railroad lines with connections to Boston were built that passed within a few miles of the lake; and third, the lake was just the right distance from Boston to...

Pawtuxet, Rhode Island
ISBN: 9781531641788 / Angielski / Twarda / 130 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Founded in 1638, Pawtuxet is one of Rhode Island's oldest and most historic villages. The Pawtuxet River divides this unique settlement almost in half; the northern section belongs to Cranston and the southern to Warwick.

After making significant contributions to our nation's fight for freedom--the British schooner Gaspee was burned off the shores of this village in the first act of violence in the American Revolution--Pawtuxet became known as a prosperous seaport and, later, as the home of Rhodes-on-the-Pawtuxet, an...

Elijah Horn established the first public meeting house at his home on Plummer's Ridge.
