Early history, shipbuilding, privateering, Revolution and War of 1812, shipping and piracy are important themes in this history of the intensely maritime area between the Kennebec and Sheepscot Rivers. This is a detailed and well-written history, as opposed to some of the more provincial efforts by New England local historians. First edition. Haskell, Maine Bib. 5248. Light foxing on front blank, else very good condition in publisher’s cloth binding.
