Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maine, A Guide 'Down East, '. PREFACE AS THE perspective broadens on the picture of the American scene, past and present, being portrayed by the Federal Writers Project of the Works Progress Administration in the American Guide Series, the State by State development of this vast panorama now brings into focus the Nations northeast corner. How strong a Iight Maines contribution can stand depends to a great extent upon ones point of view. Whatever the point of view, it should be remembered that the presentation of the many diverse eIements embodied in a State the size of Maine in a single volume is necessarily of a general nature, under the rather rigid requirements of a guidebook therefore certain phases may not seem to be treated in this book as thoroughly as they merit. An attempt has been made, however, to capture the spirit of Maine life and to high light the Maine scene for the visitor, without being either romantic or encyclopedic. The Maine staff of the Writers Project, like those of other States, has had its own particular trials and tribulations in preparing a Guide. In presenting facts about Maine, the staff supreme effort at accuracy often bogged down before several accepted authorities who were at variance . on a given point. Items accepted as fact were wcasionalIy found to be legendary.

This book was released on 2018-06-19 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first explorers, to the century of ships, to our modern fisheries and diversification, Maine's maritime story is told in engaging detail. Lincoln Paine has laid down the framework for an understanding of Maine's maritime history by relating the population and landscape of today to their historic foundations. This engaging overview of Maine’s maritime history ranges from early Native American travel and fishing to pre-Plymouth European settlements, wars, international trade, shipbuilding, boom-and-bust fisheries, immigrant quarrymen, quick-lime production, yachting, and modern port facilities, all unfolding against one of the most dramatic seascapes on the planet. Down East can be read in an evening but will be referred to again and again. When the first edition was published in 2000, Walter Cronkite—a veteran Maine coastal sailor as well as The Most Trusted Man in America—wrote that “Paine’s economy of phrase and clarity of purpose make this book a delight.” Paine went on to write his monumental opus The Sea and Civilization: A Maritime History of the World (PW starred review), but now returns to his first and most abiding love, the coast of Maine, to revise and update this gem of a book. The new edition is printed in a large, full-color format with a stunning complement of historical photos, paintings, charts, and illustrations, making this a truly visual journey along a storied coast.
