New Documents Relating to the Popham Expedition, 1607
Get PDFIntroduction
I hope that none of the members in present attendance at this meeting has been lured from his comfortable den by the announcement of the title of my contribution for today as an offering to revive the highly controversial topic of the character, purpose and continuity of the Popham Colony which settled on the Maine coast in 1607. Members whose memory runs back three score years can recall the almost riotous interchange of verbal encounters which signalized the dedication of a tablet by the Maine Historical Society in memory of the first formal settlement undertaken by Englishmen on a bleak and forbidding promontory at the mouth of the Kennebec River.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1171/thumbnail.jp

Get PDFOpening paragraph:
When national prohibition was adopted it was never contemplated that our federal courts and prosecuting agencies would have to be greatly expanded to handle the 70,000 criminal and civil cases a year made necessary by prohibition. Formerly, the federal jurisdiction in the criminal field was practically restricted to offenses against the federal government and to offenses which were distinctly of an interitate character.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1144/thumbnail.jp

Get PDFSample paragraph:
Wherever you go in the Maine woods you are sure to find satisfaction because life at a Maine woods camp is a continuous program of pleasure and contentment with the program of fishing parties, tramping expeditions, canoe picnics and many other forms of entertainment. At all Maine woods camps there are bills-of-fare to meet the appetites that invariably come from the heathful invigorating life in the open. Even the most jaded appetites become keen and the memory of luscious and satisfying offerings of the camp cooks outlasts the recollection of charms of scenery and the bountiful beauties of Nature.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/railroad_pubs/1010/thumbnail.jp
Atop Katahdin
Get PDFOpening paragraph:
Mount Katahdin is the o\u27ertopping feature of the state of Maine which stands conspicuously among the states because of its wealth of natural attractions. It is the center of a vast forest expanse which stretches forth from the mountain\u27s base, and Katahdin\u27s domain is rich in lakes and streams and lesser heights. Katahdin, or Ktaadn as the mountain\u27s name sounds in the pronunciation of the Indian dialects, means the greatest mountain, and no more appropriate title could be given it..https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1214/thumbnail.jp
