Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old Hallowell on the Kennebec The purpose of this volume is to tell the story of the old town of Hallowell from the time of its earliest settlement to its incorporation as a city in 1852, and to give a picture of the life of the people at that period when Hallowell was at the height of its commercial prosperity and famous as a social and literary center. The book contains biographical sketches of the eminent founders of the town, and of the notable men and women who maintained its moral, intellectual, and social status; and also presents a record of those institutions that contributed to the general upbuilding of the community. It has long been conceded, by recognized authorities, that the early annals of Hallowell are of remarkable interest and of unusual historic value. Therefore, with the hope that these veritable yet romantic records may appeal to the sons and daughters of the Kennebec valley, wherever they may be, and also to the general reader who would enjoy for a season the characteristic atmosphere of an exceptionally favored old New England town, this story, as illumined by the traditions of the fathers, is now inscribed upon these pages. To those loyal friends of Old Hallowell, to whom I am indebted for the use of valuable family papers, manuscript letters, copies of rare old portraits, and for most cordial encouragement in the making of the book, appreciative acknowledgments are here gratefully rendered. To Miss Annie F. Page and Miss Sophia B. Gilman, who have placed the resources of the Hubbard Free Library and their own invaluable collections of local historical matter at my disposal, and who have given me their constant personal assistance in my researches, an expression of gratitude is here especially due. To all of those lovers and friends of the old town from whom messages of enthusiastic interest in my work have frequently been received, I this day send out, with the story of Old Hallowell, thanks - and greeting!

Book excerpt: PULITZER PRIZE WINNER • Drawing on the diaries of one woman in eighteenth-century Maine, "A truly talented historian unravels the fascinating life of a community that is so foreign, and yet so similar to our own" (The New York Times Book Review). Between 1785 and 1812 a midwife and healer named Martha Ballard kept a diary that recorded her arduous work (in 27 years she attended 816 births) as well as her domestic life in Hallowell, Maine. On the basis of that diary, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich gives us an intimate and densely imagined portrait, not only of the industrious and reticent Martha Ballard but of her society. At once lively and impeccably scholarly, A Midwife's Tale is a triumph of history on a human scale.

Download or read book Around Hallowell written by Bob Briggs and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 1996-10-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Around Hallowell, author Bob Briggs has created a nostalgic look at his home from the Civil War era to the 1940s. Incorporated in 1771, Hallowell is one of Maine's oldest permanent settlements. Incredibly, the 1807 American Encyclopedia predicted that Hallowell would one day be one of the nation's largest cities. This book focuses on the city in its heyday of prosperity, culture, and education, and it gives the reader insight into the now-vanished industries of shipping, granite, lumber, and ice that comprised the stapple of Hallowell's financial prosperity. Over the years, urban renewal has claimed many of Water Street's most prominent landmarks. Manu of the 200 rare photographs included in this volume depict these historic buildings and street scenes as they once were. Covering the area along the Kennebec River between Farmingdal and Augusta, these images speak volumes about a time when life moved at a leisurely pace, enabling residents to take time out for cultural and spiritual refinement.
