This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 13 This volume contains correspondence of Thomas Pownall, whose prudent administration of affairs during his incumbency of the important office of Royal Governor of Massachusetts entitles him to an honorable place in our colonial history. The publication of Charles A. W. Pownall's recent book "Thomas Pownall, M.P. F.R.S. Governor of Massachusetts Bay etc. etc., 1722-1805," in which he makes a notable addition to the controversy respecting the authorship of the Junius letters, which he believes should be ascribed to the Governor, will lend to this correspondence increased interest. A comparison of the hand writing of Governor Pownall with that of Junius strongly supports the claim of his kinsman, and we are obliged to pass unquestioned his assertion that the Governor's knowledge of political conditions especially fitted him for writing them. He says, "That no place in the province which this Governor worked so hard for while there, and had so deep an affection for always, derives its name from him. What is now Dresden on the Kennebec river, in the region which his expeditions opened for settlement was at first called Pownalborough, but at the beginning of the last century the present designation was adopted."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 6 N looking over the proofs of this volume, as it is about to be published, it strikes me as not impossible that some may question the wisdom of printing the numerous petitions relative to land grants which it contains, because of the limited number of persons to whom they appeal. I wish to say in reply, should such a question arise, that I have found such material of the greatest value to persons in locating residence and determining dates in family history. I have had cases myself where one of these documents would have been worth much more to me than the price of this volume, hence I have printed them in the belief that among the limited number of early Maine documents in existence they may not prove valueless. The next volume, however, will probably comprise mate rial Of more general interest. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 22: Containing the Baxter Manuscripts This volume, the twenty-second Documentary series of the Society, will be followed by a collection of interesting documents relating to the Indians of Maine, transcribed for me by Rev. Henry O. Thayer with painstaking accuracy, like all of Mr. Thayer's excellent work. They would have appeared some time ago had I not been averse to interrupting the history of Maine's activities in the war of the Revolution before reaching a point far enough beyond its close to give students knowledge of the difficulties with which the people of Maine had to struggle to enable them to establish within its borders a somewhat orderly condition of affairs. I hope that from the point where this volume ends the work may be continued to the separation of Maine from Massachusetts.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 5: Containing the Baxter Manuscripts A Pressure of affairs of a public nature for four years past has prevented me from giving to this fifth volume of the Documentary History of Maine the attention which the work demanded, hence what has appeared like unnecessary delay in its publication. As no one, however, was at hand who could relieve me of the labor of proof-reading, a not altogether inspiriting task, as all know who are familiar with the vagaries in spelling which our illiterate forbears, it would seem, delighted to make as complicated as possible, the delay was unavoidable. What I have done I have tried to do thoroughly, and have carefully compared the proof-sheets with my copies of the original manuscripts, which I regard as most trustworthy, hence I believe that no material errors will be discovered. To Mr. Edward Denham, of New Bedford, to whom our Society is so greatly indebted for unselfish labor in its behalf, am I under especial obligation for the excellent index which accompanies the volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 21: Containing the Baxter Manuscripts This volume continues the story of the hard conditions confronting the people of Maine after the close of the Revolutionary War. They had made great sacrifices for the preservation of their homes, many of which, located upon land subject to conflicting claims, rendered their tenure insecure, and many whose titles were unquestioned were too poor to pay the taxes levied upon them by the Government for the expenses of the war and its own maintenance; in fact, they were subject to innumerable difficulties which compelled them to seek relief from the Government, which must have put its members to their wits end to devise measures of relief. To attain a settled condition in the remoter parts of Maine was for many years a task which must have seemed almost hopeless to settlers and legislators. It was, however, at last accomplished, and in a manner which reflects credit upon all concerned. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
