| The first half of the book focuses on Maine history before 1700, beginning with Leif Ericksons exploration circa 1000 A.D., and continuing with descriptions of early settlement and interaction with the Indians. The second half of the book describes the wars and further settlement of the area, and culminates in the prosperous years of the late 19th century. The book is presented as graphic images, so the user sees the work just as it was originally published. It is intended to look and function very much like a "real" book. There is no electronic index, and there is no electronic text to search. However, numerous electronic bookmarks have been added which make it easy to move through the book. Image numbers will match the page numbers for all of the main text, as well as the index. Any unnumbered portraits and illustrations are at the back of the actual file, to keep page numbering consistent. - United States - Maine - |
