History of the Town of Pownal: written for its centennial, Sept. 2, 1908
Get PDFOpening Paragraph:
One hundred years. One hundred years of hopes and fears. One hundred years of joys and tears. Five times within this hundred years has history repeated itself. Five generations have completed their life work and passed to the great beyond. As many more have taken their places, and still the long procession is slowly moving on. The pendulum of time that has swung untiringly and unceasingly for so long a period of years is now ticking away your life and mine. In childhood, when our lives are young and our hearts are strong, the hours pass all too slow, and we would fain move ahead the hands of the clock were it in our power; but in after years as our life has passed its meridian and we are moving down the western slope, so quickly do the years slip away, that before we are aware, the shadows of late afternoon are falling far across our pathway.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1026/thumbnail.jp

The Lackawannas at Moosehead, or, The young leather stockings
Get PDFOpening Paragraphs of Chapter 1, Down Brakes:
A long sharp whistle, another, apparently in reply, a sudden application of the brakes to their utmost limit, the shuddering of the cars as the moveless wheels ground along the resisting rail, a crash, a terrific shock, a crushing in of the front of the car, flying fragments of doors, windows and broken glass, the sickening lurch as the car swung diagonally across the track and settled down still right side up.
Then arose a Babylon of cries, screams of women, shrieks of children, and loud shouts of men as they struggled to extricate themselves from the confused mass of humanity heaped and pent in the car.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1063/thumbnail.jp
