Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 17 O again resume the publication of the Documentary History of Maine, though a somewhat exacting task de manding time which I cannot well spare, is a great satisfaction, as I can see a prospect of being able to finish the work to which I set my hand many years ago. This volume, as it contains a large portion of the account of the grave disaster which befell the State in the mismanaged Penobscot Expedition, will, I believe, be welcomed by students of Maine history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 6 In 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 material 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. 11: Containing the Baxter Manuscripts Were it not that a serious error was made by giving the documentary publications of the Maine Historical Society the title given to the papers read at its meetings, viz: "Collections of the Maine Historical Society," with the addition of "Second Series," I could commence a new series with this volume, but I cannot call it a third series, for the Society is printing a third series under the same title of "Collections;" in fact, it has already printed another second series under the same title. I therefore think it best to continue future volumes of the "Documentary History" under the misleading title of "Second Series" to avoid further complications.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 24: Containing the Baxter Manuscripts This volume completes the documents relating to the Indians of Maine. I have added to them some documentary material taken from the records of the Pejepscot Company, whose land claims were the subject of so many disputes between the savage tribes and the pioneers who settled the eastern part of the state during a considerable portion of the eighteenth century. There can be no doubt that the Indians had valid reasons for opposing the Pejepscot Company's grants of territory to which they had but a shadowy title, if any, but the political influence of the Pejepscot Proprietors was so great, that in the end the Indians had no alternative but to yield. With the preceding volume, which relates wholly to the Indians, and scattered documents to be found in the earlier volumes, the student will have all the unpublished Indian documents that I have been able to collect. I hope to continue the Documentary History from the date where I left it at the end of the twenty-second volume to the close of the century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 4: Containing the Baxter Manuscripts The documents in this volume have been gathered by me during many years, from the archives of Massachusetts, the office of the Public Records in London, and the Bureau of Marine and Colonies in Paris. They are not all of equal importance, and several might perhaps have been left unprinted without loss to the general student of Maine history; but when I reflected how important even trivial allusions to a subject, perhaps but the mere record of obscure names, frequently become to the special gleaner in the historic field, I did not feel willing to incur the responsibility of discarding from my collection those documents which did not seem to me to possess an interest of a marked character. My intention was, at the outset, to follow a strictly chronological method of arrangement; but some documents of an earlier date than others which had already been printed, having come into my hands while the work was in progress, I was obliged to somewhat depart from the order with which the work was begun. I regret that it was impossible to correct my proof by the original documents, but I trust that important errors have been avoided; certainly those documents from the Massachusetts archives, which my venerable friend David Pulsifer, of Boston, has copied for me with a painstaking fidelity peculiar to the born antiquarian, should be as free from error as any such work performed by fallible man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book A People s History of the United States written by Howard Zinn and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2003-02-04 with total page 764 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its original landmark publication in 1980, A People's History of the United States has been chronicling American history from the bottom up, throwing out the official version of history taught in schools -- with its emphasis on great men in high places -- to focus on the street, the home, and the, workplace. Known for its lively, clear prose as well as its scholarly research, A People's History is the only volume to tell America's story from the point of view of -- and in the words of -- America's women, factory workers, African-Americans, Native Americans, the working poor, and immigrant laborers. As historian Howard Zinn shows, many of our country's greatest battles -- the fights for a fair wage, an eight-hour workday, child-labor laws, health and safety standards, universal suffrage, women's rights, racial equality -- were carried out at the grassroots level, against bloody resistance. Covering Christopher Columbus's arrival through President Clinton's first term, A People's History of the United States, which was nominated for the American Book Award in 1981, features insightful analysis of the most important events in our history. Revised, updated, and featuring a new after, word by the author, this special twentieth anniversary edition continues Zinn's important contribution to a complete and balanced understanding of American history.

Book excerpt: NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The remarkable true story of a man who lived alone in the woods of Maine for 27 years, making this dream a reality—not out of anger at the world, but simply because he preferred to live on his own. “A meditation on solitude, wildness and survival.” —The Wall Street Journal In 1986, a shy and intelligent twenty-year-old named Christopher Knight left his home in Massachusetts, drove to Maine, and disappeared into the forest. He would not have a conversation with another human being until nearly three decades later, when he was arrested for stealing food. Living in a tent even through brutal winters, he had survived by his wits and courage, developing ingenious ways to store edibles and water, and to avoid freezing to death. He broke into nearby cottages for food, clothing, reading material, and other provisions, taking only what he needed but terrifying a community never able to solve the mysterious burglaries. Based on extensive interviews with Knight himself, this is a vividly detailed account of his secluded life—why did he leave? what did he learn?—as well as the challenges he has faced since returning to the world. It is a gripping story of survival that asks fundamental questions about solitude, community, and what makes a good life, and a deeply moving portrait of a man who was determined to live his own way, and succeeded.
