Synopsis

Excerpt from A History of the Towns of Bristol and Bremen in the State of Maine, Including the Pemaquid Settlement

This work, though belonging to that class denominated local histories, to a considerable extent, describes events and transactions more or less intimately connected with the early history of the whole north Atlantic coast. This is true at least Of much of the first part. In preparing the work the author has considered himself as particularly addressing the citizens of the place, most of them the neighbors and friends of his youth, or their direct descendants; and in the belief that they would be particularly interested, like himself, in the ancient history of their native place, much labor has been expended on this part and much space allotted to it, though it becomes necessary, as a consequence, to exclude considerable matter relating to modern times that had been prepared, and, were it possible, would gladly have been included. To have merely described the transactions that took place here would have been comparatively an easy task; but to show the real import ance and significance of these transactions, required a Wider range of view, and an examination Of their relations to events simultaneously transpiring in other places on the coast, and even in Europe.
