Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of Gorham, Maine, and particularly its proprietors' struggle to establish a permanent home for their town, which they had been granted as a repayment by the King for their services during the Narragansett Wars. This history is embedded within the foundational events leading to the United States' Revolution and the early years of the new nation, which the author says, "keep in the minds of their children the remembrance of the service of their ancestors," and the men of Gorham, who were also the first settlers, indeed played an outsized role. The histories of families, churches, businesses, and schools within Gorham are interwoven to convey the flavor of 18th- and 19th-century life in a small New England town whose character was shaped by its proximity to the sea and the pioneer spirit of its earliest inhabitants. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and accomplishments of a rural community during America's formative years.
