Around Wiscasset

Alna, Dresden, Westport Island, Wiscasset, and Woolwich

By: Jim Harnedy

The Kennebec and Sheepscot Rivers of Maine, natural boundaries for the Wiscasset region, provided the water highways for early explorers, traders, and missionaries. By the early part of the seventeenth century, colonization by European settlers had begun. For over 360 years, the area has been home to shipbuilders, fishermen, farmers, and tradesmen. This marvelous photographic chronicle traces not only the rich historical traditions of the area, but also the shared sense of life's unbroken continuity present in the towns of the Wiscasset region: Alna, Dresden, Westport Island, Wiscasset, and Woolwich. Vintage photographs profile a few of those who quietly inspired others through their efforts to make life better in the region, as well as those men and women of wealth and vision who provided the area with a legacy by their lifestyles and great homes. The book also features views of local taverns, courthouses, general stores, churches, and schools--all the foundations of a changing, vivacious, and growing community.

Campobello Island

By: Jim Harnedy,Jane Diggins Harnedy,Campobello Public Library and Museum

During its long, legendary history, Campobello Island has been known by many names: the Native American word for it was Abahquict, French explorers called it Port aux Coquilles, and the English named it Outer Island. Campobello rises on the outer edge of Passamaquoddy Bay just across the water from Eastport, Maine, and only a stone's throw away from the Narrows at Lubec, Maine. Campobello Island features rare historical photographs gleaned from the collection of the Campobello Public Library and Museum, other archives, and private collections of many local families. The book chronicles the century-long rule of the Owen family, depicts the fishing villages of Welshpool and Wilson's Beach, salutes the island's military heroes, and captures the faces of countless residents, including the Roosevelts, who were members of the summer colony for more than half a century. The story of "Sunrise at Campobello" rounds out this extraordinary history.

The Machias Bay Region

The Machias Bay Region

By: Jim Harnedy,Jane Harnedy

The Machias Bay Region has a rich multicultural heritage. For eons, Native Americans of various tribes journeyed to the shores of the Machias River each September for an annual gathering. The earliest European visitors to the region may have been Norsemen in the eleventh century. The French set up a trading post in 1605-1606 and the Pilgrims established an ill-fated trading post in 1733. Another early Machias settler was the infamous pirate Captain Samuel Bellamey. In 1763, Machias was successfully settled by a group of pioneers from Scarborough, who found in Machias an abundance of marsh hay, extensive forests, and a sheltered harbor. These brave pioneers later became American patriots when they fought and won the first naval engagement of the Revolutionary War on June 12, 1775. This wonderful photographic history captures how much, and yet how little has changed over the years. These photographs chronicle not only the rich historical traditions of the area but also the shared sense of life's unbroken continuity in the towns of the Machias Bay Region: Cutler, East Machias, Jonesboro, Machias, Machiasport, Marshfield, Whiting, and Whitneyville. The book features old vessels docking for shipments of lumber, fishermen plying the waters for a catch, lumberjacks running logs, horses hauling timber through the snow, the Cross Island lifesaving station, women doing their wash at Schooner Brook, cattle contributing to the workforce, and folks raking blueberries, and tipping balsam branches and making wreaths. The legacy of our churches, schools, general stores, and county buildings are featured, as well as school sports teams. Photographs of our communities and people at both work and play depict an artistry of another era and a glimpse into the way life was.

The Boothbay Harbor Region

By: Jim Harnedy

This wonderful photographic history shows how much, and yet how little, has changed over the century from 1870 to 1970. The Boothbay Harbor Region was one of the first parts of the country to be colonized by European settlers, and for over 370 years it has been a home for boat builders, fishermen, farmers, and artists, as well as a vacation destination for more than a century. The Region has maintained its tranquility and sense of tradition throughout and it is fascinating to see farmers ploughing their fields using oxen as late as the 1940s. These photographs show us the faces and places that make up the Region's history: old buildings now long gone, a president's visit and Hollywood film sets, devastating fires and destructive storms, people walking on the frozen bay in the winter and haying in the summer, fishermen and yachtsmen plying the waves, ship launches and shipwrecks. We see church congregations, school sports teams, grizzled sailors, hardworking farmers, a hot dog king, and ordinary families - the ordinary folk of the Boothbay Harbor Region and the intricacies of their day-to-day lives in this beautiful area.

A Brookline Boyhood in the 1930s and 40s

A Brookline Boyhood in the 1930s and 40s

By: Jim Harnedy

In A Brookline Boyhood Jim Harnedy takes up a new challenge in his writing career and instead of producing a local history he narrates a lively tale of growing up in the 1930s and 40s in Brookline, a suburb to the southeast of Boston. Jim's grandfather came from Bantry, County Cork, Ireland, and Jim begins his story with the Harnedy clan Saturday night tradition of having dinner at Grandma's house. From here he takes us to the fire at Brookline High School and the hurricane of 1938; all memories from an impressionable young mind. Emergency surgery for a Maine Coon kitten is another memory fragment followed by recalling hearing Franklin D. Roosevelt on the radio following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Growing up in the 1940s meant the Lone Ranger, Silver and Tonto at the movie theater and listening to radio stars while sat before a winter fire. For anyone of sufficient years to remember such nuggets, this book will produce evocative memories; for those of much younger years, Jim's boyhood tale of growing up in Brookline will provide a fascinating window into a Boston Irish family of eighty years ago.

Historic Churches, Synagogues & Spiritual Places of Eastern Maine

By: Jim Harnedy,Jane Diggins Harnedy

Beginning with the Native American tribes of the Wabanaki Alliance, the people of Maine have created religious institutions and spiritual traditions that have endured for hundreds of years. After the arrival of Europeans, Christianity and Judaism began to spread, and dozens of congregations were formed. Their history lives not only in the spectacular structures built to honor the deities but also in the people who came together to celebrate, mourn and worship. From the earliest Native American peoples to the congregations of today, local authors Jim and Jane Diggins Harnedy document the religious history of Acadia, Greater Bangor and Way Down East.
