The History of Maine Told Through Historic Photographs
(Nashville, TN)
From its renowned maritime industries to its status as booming tourism hub to its rich literary history, Maine’s collection of unique cultures gave rise to a unified and progressive spirit, a foundation of the state’s present-day prosperity and popularity.
With fact-filled photo captions and chapter introductions by Frances L. Pollitt, Historic Photos of Maine rediscovers the state’s fascinating past through nearly 200 rare photographs traced to Blethen Maine Newspapers, the Maine Historical Society, the Maine Memory Network, the Sanford Historical Committee, the Seashore Trolley Museum, and the Library of Congress−all showcased with exceptional clarity and beauty.
From its rich Acadian history to its magnificent rocky coastline, Deer Isle to Popham Beach, Cushman’s Bakery to Chandler’s Band, summer camps to presidential camps, the “Pine Tree State” shines through the decades in glorious black-and-white photography, displayed in a large format.
“This book is unique for two reasons,” explains publisher Todd Bottorff, “the high quality of printing and binding and the fact that many have never seen these photos.”
Historic Photos of Maine is part of Turner Publishing’s Historic Photos series. These books, highlighting the history of the magnificent states, great cities, pivotal events, and legendary figures across America, have been acclaimed as a staple in the collection of anyone who loves history.
