This book delves into the rich history of Maine, from 1907 to 1908, presenting a fascinating account of how this US State sought to preserve and promote its local and state history in the early 20th century. It begins by exploring the efforts of those who pushed for the study of local and state history in the public schools, and the obstacles they faced as they sought to include their proposals in the school curriculum. The book also sheds light on the author's efforts to compile historical data about Maine, including his investigation into the number of Maine soldiers who fought with George Washington in Valley Forge, and his research into Maine's role in the Louisburg expedition of 1745. Furthermore, the book highlights the establishment of the position of State Historian and its significance in encouraging the compilation and publishing of town histories, and the challenges faced by the State Historian in his work to collect historical materials. In conclusion, the book provides valuable insights into the efforts to preserve and promote Maine's history in the early 1900s, and the complexities of managing and preserving the state's valuable historical archives.
