Family Histories.--Brackett, Trott, Woodbury, Parsons, Jones, Skillings, Sterling, Trefethen, Scott. "There is history in all men's lives." The people of a locality make its history, and a history of the people is almost a history of that locality. Those who settled early on Peaks Island were mostly hardy fishermen's families or those that went down to the sea in ships. They were people who knew the secrets of the sea as only those can know who brave its dangers. They were the Wakes, Bracketts, Trotts, Woodburys, Parsons, Sterlings, Welchs, Jones, Trefethens, Skillings, Scotts, and others, who have come and gone, and each has done his part, humble or otherwise, in the battle of life. It is fitting that the story of their lives should be preserved, that those who come after them may know who they were and what were the events in their lives that went to make up the history of the island while they lived. They were a settlement by themselves and shared each other's joys and sorrows. They saw the sun rise from out of the sea and the ocean was their highway. It is a story of the fathers who have passed beyond or are stepping one side for the younger generation to assume the responsibilities of life. All is not told and never will be, as much that would now interest us died with them. BRACKETT. The Brackett family is the most prominent one in the history of Peaks Island. It was known as Brackett's Island for many years. The family are descendants of George Cleeve, the first settler of Portland, and as a family have been modest, unassuming, and honorable. They have sealed their right to Cleeve's land by their own blood. The two first settlers of the name at Falmouth were killed by the Indians while defending their homes. Bracketts...

Book excerpt: Portraits: Early Peaks Islanders (1840-1900) brings to life twelve nearly forgotten men and women whose efforts to shape their community are still influencing life on Peaks Island today. Based on years of intensive research and steeped in an understanding of human nature, Judith E. Richardson weaves fascinating narratives from the details she discovered in period newspapers, public documents, and journals. Set against the back drop of Peaks Island, these stories add a layer of historical detail to familiar island locations.The cast of characters includes fishermen, farmers, developers, and entertainment magnates. Although islanders will recognize the family names such as Sterling, Skillings, Brackett, Welch, and Hadlock, the book transcends its locality. Every reader will enjoy the "never say die" spirit of these 19th century movers and shakers. The eye-opening stories of their bold thinking, their pursuit of profit, and their commitment to "the greater good" reveal concern with personal and social issues that are recognizable and relevant today.

Download or read book Maine's Visible Black History written by Harriet H. Price and published by Tilbury House Publishers. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MAINE'S VISIBLE BLACK HISTORY, by H. H. Price and Gerald Talbot, explores how Black men and women have been integral parts of Maine culture and society since the beginning of the colonial era. Indeed, Mainers of African descent served in every American conflict from the King Philip's War to the present. However, the many contributions of blacks in shaping Maine and the nation have, for a number of reasons, gone largely unacknowledged. Maine's Visible Black History now uncovers and reveals a rich and long--neglected strata of state history and proves a very real connection to regional and national events.
