Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the settlers who founded Porterfield, a township in backwoods Maine, near the turn of the 19th century. It weaves together their stories with accounts of their daily lives. The narrative opens by describing the land's acquisition by Massachusetts and its subsequent division among proprietors. The hardships faced by the early settlers as they carved out their homesteads from the wilderness and established their community are vividly depicted. The author adeptly handles source materials such as plantation records, family genealogies, and anecdotes from descendants of the settlers, which adds credibility to the text.
