Frontier to Industrial City: Lewiston Town Politics, 1768-1863, By Douglas I. Hodgkin. This book tells the story of how Lewiston, Maine, grew from a settlement carved from the wilderness to a boomtown stimulated by construction of canals and textile mills. The twenty chapters describe how the government operated, how services were delivered, and political movements such as liquor prohibition and emergence of the Republican Party. The book covers schools, fire and police protection, welfare for the poor, roads, regulations, taxes, spending, and election campaigns. This is a case study of how towns governed themselves in the early nineteenth century. Although the details are about Lewiston, readers can learn generally about New England town government and politics. The book contains four dozen illustrations and two dozen tables of information. Appendices list the most important town officials and detail the locations of the early schoolhouses. Paperback, xiv plus 345 pages. ISBN 978-1-934949-10-8. $29.95 plus $3.50 shipping plus $1.50 Maine sales tax in Maine. Contact Douglas I. Hodgkin, 9 Sutton Place, Lewiston, ME 04240, [email protected]. |

Stackpole's History of Maine With Genealogical Notes edited by David C. Young & Elizabeth Keene Young, 1994. | 
Early Families of Raymond, Maine - Robert L. Taylor. This book is packed with genealogy, and a great value for anyone
with an interest in this area of Maine, about twenty-five miles north of Portland. Raymond�s town and vital records were
destroyed when Mrs. Irene Crockett�s home was consumed by fire in 1932. The only town book saved at the time was a large
ledger, now stored at the town clerk�s office, that had been stored in Mrs. Crockett�s porch. It is from this book that the
enclosed records of births were taken, containing information not only on Raymond but also on Casco families before the two
towns separated in 1841. | The book is an alphabetical listing of hundreds of families, making an index unneccessary. Each family listing provides a paragraph about the husband and wife, followed by a list of their children. Typically the husband�s and wife�s dates and places of birth and death are given (often with the name of the cemetery), and frequently the names of their parents. If there has been more than one marriage, information for the subsequent spouses is given. Also their date and place of marriage is supplied. The children are presented in birth order, usually with date and place of birth, death and marriage, and the names and places of origin of their spouses. In most cases, a person�s age at death has been calculated to the day, and if one of the children is a parent in a subsequent family listing, this is indicated, enabling relatively easy establishment of long chains of pedigree. Marriage dates when given have been obtained either from Cumberland County marriage records or from old marriage records found in the old Raymond Hall by Ernest Knight. A few marriages have been taken from old newspaper listings. Death records of individual children were also a source of information on their parents. 1998, 218 pp., paper, bibl., $19.00 #ZT097. |
