Collections And Proceedings Of The Maine Historical Society Vol 5 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Collections and Proceedings of the Maine Historical Society, Vol. 5 For a period of over sixty years, in the early history of Portland, Samuel Freeman was a prominent and conspicious figure in the religious, political and social life of her people. He came upon the stage during the most trying period of her life and history. From the time Falmouth was ruthlessly destroyed by Mowat, through the exciting scenes of the Revolutionary war, through the depression in business which followed, and the poverty and distress which like a pall hung over the people and business of his native town, immediately prior to and during the war of 1812, through it all and during his long years of public life, and in the many responsible positions he held under the government, and in his state and town, the record shows that he worked faithfully for their best interest. No man was more strongly attached to Portland than he, and during this period he earnestly devoted his time, his influence and his efforts to promote her interests.
