Book Synopsis "Still They Remember Me" by : Carol A. Dana
Download or read book "Still They Remember Me" written by Carol A. Dana and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-28 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newell Lyon learned the oral tradition from his elders in Maine's Penobscot Nation and was widely considered to be a "raconteur among the Indians." The thirteen stories in this new volume were among those that Lyon recounted to anthropologist Frank Speck, who published them in 1918 as Penobscot Transformer Tales. Transcribed for the first time into current Penobscot orthography and with a new English translation, this instructive and entertaining story cycle focuses on the childhood and coming-of-age of Gluskabe, the tribe's culture hero. Learning from his grandmother Woodchuck, Gluskabe applies lessons that help shape the Wabanaki landscape and bring into balance all the forces affecting human life. These tales offer a window into the language and culture of the Penobscot people in the early twentieth century. In "Still They Remember Me," stories are presented in the Penobscot language and English side-by-side, coupled with illustrations from members of the tribal community. For the first time, these stories are accessible to a young generation of Penobscot language learners and scholars of Native American literatures at all levels, from grade school to graduate school.
Book Synopsis City on the Penobscot by : Trudy Irene Scee
Download or read book City on the Penobscot written by Trudy Irene Scee and published by Definitive History. This book was released on 2010 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first settlers of what would become Bangor, Maine, established a community initially known as Kenduskeag Plantation, and since that time, generations of residents have relied on the Penobscot River for food, water, recreation, industry and transportation--it has provided a route to the ocean and to the world. The people of Bangor created a community that has remained dedicated not only to economic growth but also to providing for the needs of the impoverished. A leading port city and the "lumber capital of the world" during the nineteenth century, Bangor also claims America's second oldest garden cemetery, an unrivaled public library, the nation's oldest community orchestra and one of its oldest community bands. Citizens of Bangor have served in the Civil War and all subsequent American military engagements. They have overcome fires and floods that decimated the city and epidemics that devastated the population. They have known colorful and notorious characters, such as local brothel owner Fan Jones and America's public enemy number one, Al Brady, as well as dedicated individuals and families who have served as community leaders and caretakers year after year, decade after decade. And they have adapted to such modern socioeconomic challenges as evolving transportation methods, the Ku Klux Klan, urban renewal and the city's shift to a distribution and service center. Historian Trudy Irene Scee presents all of this and more in this full history of the Queen City of the East.

Book Synopsis The Forgotten Bridge of Acadia by : Therese Marshall

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charity Kane lives in a blue and white cottage in Bar Harbor, Maine. On this special summer day, she and her dog Mariah will explore their island home-the shore, Main Street, the village green, the harbor-all by themselves, hoping for adventure. What they find is a huge, beautiful pink-granite bridge with three arches, sadly overgrown and hidden from view. Charity, her father and the townspeople discover the history of the bridge and clear away the brush to reveal, once again, the "Forgotten Bridge of Acadia." From author/illustrator Therese Klotz Marshall: When I was a child growing up on Eagle Lake Road in Bar Harbor, Maine, in the 1950s, my family would drive into Acadia National Park up to the top of Cadillac Mountain to look at the view of Frenchmans Bay and the Porcupine Islands. Driving on Route 3 into Bar Harbor, my parents would say, "Look to the right. It's coming up. Don't look away or you will miss it. There it is!" We would chime, "I saw it!" We were talking about "Dad's bridge," formally known as the Duck Brook Motor Bridge on Paradise Hill Road. My father designed and was construction supervisor for the real "Forgotten Bridge of Acadia," completed in 1952.

Book Synopsis The Penobscot Expedition by : George E. Buker
Download or read book The Penobscot Expedition written by George E. Buker and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2024-03-26 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1779 the fledgling U.S. naval fleet suffered a catastrophic defeat against the British in the waters of the Penobscot Bay, losing forty ships in a battle that was expected to be a sure victory for the Americans. Commodore Dudley Saltonstall was blamed for the debacle and ultimately court-martialed for his ineptitude. In this groundbreaking book George E. Buker defends Saltonstall providing compelling evidence that he was not to blame for the loss and that in fact the court-martial was rigged against him. Buker’s conclusions foster a reassessment of Saltonstall’s naval strategies and shed new light on the political maneuvers of the time.
