A History Of Turner Maine From Its Settlement To 1886 Primary Source Edition PDF Download

Excerpt from A History of Turner, Maine, From Its Settlement to 1886 This work was undertaken by the urgent solicitation of others, knowing something of the difficulties that must be encountered, and of the tax upon the time and strength which were all needed for other labors. But it seemed desirable that the history of the town should be written, as the celebration of its Centennial would awaken a special interest in it; and as no other came to mind who could conveniently attend to it, the work was reluctantly undertaken. Dr. Timothy Howe wrote a history of the town, which he left in manuscript; this has furnished much valuable information which it would be difficult, if not impossible, to gain now. The writer of this has been largely indebted to him, and wishes to make suitable acknowledgments. The records of the Proprietors of the Township have been carefully consulted, as also the Records of the Town from the date of its incorporation, and the Records and Papers in the State House, Boston.
