Book excerpt: Located in Northampton County, Bangor and the surrounding Slate Belt towns lie just a few miles from the Pocono Mountains and the Delaware River. The area's slate formations transformed the towns from sleepy farming communities to major producers and suppliers of slate to the world. Enterprising immigrants, including the Welsh, Italians, Cornish, and Pennsylvania Germans, opened a number of industries and businesses in the area, including slate quarries, garment factories, opera houses, hospitals, and retail stores. Trolley cars, major railroads, and a colorful Dentzel carousel became part of the area, as did some famous residents, such as actress Jayne Mansfield and award-winning pharmacist Ivor Griffith. Around Bangor is a testiment to the drive, hardiness, and community spirit of its residents.

Download or read book Legendary Locals of Bangor written by Richard R. Shaw and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2015-06-08 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its settlement in 1769, Bangor's greatest resource has been its people. Long before 1834, when the town on the Penobscot became a city, future legends were born who transformed it into a world-class community. Hannibal Hamlin served as Abraham Lincoln's first vice president. Timber tycoon Sam Hersey financed urban development while less affluent folk such as Molly Molasses also made their mark. When philanthropists Stephen and Tabitha King are not writing best-selling novels, they are spreading their wealth throughout the community. Bangor's melting pot includes the Italian Baldacci family and the Jewish baker Reuben Cohen, who, with his wife Clara, raised their son Bill, a US senator and defense secretary. More infamous but equally legendary is brothel keeper Fanny Jones. Paul Bunyan earned a statue on Main Street. Airport troop greeters Kay Lebowitz and Bill Knight round out the list of notables. They are all jewels in Bangor's crown, and each in their own way is a bona fide legend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bangor, Maine: Its Summer Attractions and Industrial Advantages; Issued by the Bangor Board of Trade, 1906 The pioneer Buswell was not, however, the first White man to visit or note the advantages of settlement at the confluence of the Kenduskeag and the Penobscot Rivers. As early as 1605 the French had visited this locality, and in 1613 the Jesuits had contemplated planting a mission here, but finally determined on Mount Desert. About 1670 Baron De Castine of Canada came into the region, gained great influence with the Tarratine Indians by means of marriage with the daughter of Chief Modockawando and estab lished a trading place where now stands the historic town of Cas tine. As a consequence for almost a century before the first settlement on Bangor's present site, the Penobscot River was a highway of communication between Canada and the French trad ing posts established in the Penobscot region. And it was not till the fall of Quebec and the final crushing of French power in America in 1759 that this region became inviting to settlers from England or colonies to the southward.

Book excerpt: Few New England cities have changed as much as, Bangor has in the twentieth century. Much of Bangor's, downtown burned to the ground in the Great Fire of, 1911, and disastrous flooding in 1902, 1923, and 1936, inflicted extensive damage along the Penobscot River, and Kenduskeag Stream. Even more devastating, in the, eyes of historians, were the losses due to Urban Renewal,, like the Union Station (1961) and the Bijou Theater, (1974). But Bangor survives with its early charm and, appeal remarkably intact. Familiar friends and places are, represented in this book, alongside the glorious landmarks, and familiar personalities of yesteryear., In this fascinating second volume, Richard R. Shaw has, carried his devotion to Bangor history a step further, this, time focusing on the twentieth century. Key events and, people of all walks of life are featured--librarians, firemen,, cops, even visiting dignitaries like Harry Truman, Eleanor, Roosevelt, and Jack Benny. Contemporary folk, like, novelist Stephen King, Bangor's spookiest and best-known, resident, are abundantly pictured. Included are nearly 200, rare images from every decade of this century, with an, emphasis on the pivotal World War II years when the city, went all out to win the war on the homefront.,

Download or read book Remembering Bangor written by Wayne E. Reilly and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2009-04-01 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On April 30, 1911, a fire ignited in Frank Greens hay shed that changed the city of Bangor forever. From the ashes of the Great Fire, the logging and mill town emerged as a modernized metropolis. In this collection of retrospective articles, Wayne E. Reilly takes a look at the town of Bangor in the years before the fire, when illegal barrooms and brothels were as rampant as the outbreaks of typhoid and smallpox. He explores Bangor in its boomtown days, when ice harvesting and logging were thriving industries, steamboats ferried passengers between cities and a lively theatre scene drew audiences to see the little Broadway in the Great North Woods. One look through this vibrant window into the past will leave you with your nose pressed to the glass, nostalgic for the olden days of Maines Queen City.
