Maine's Saco and Little Ossipee Rivers have been the life blood of the
towns of Buxton, Hollis, and Limington for over 150 years. This
delightful collection of over 200 black-and-white images vividly
illustrates the two rivers' influence on these communities, and
details
the lives and times of area residents. Once known as an integral part of
Maine's logging
industry, Buxton, Hollis, and Limington and the rivers along which they
reside were sources of electricity and economic prosperity for the
surrounding region and the state. Pictured here are the residents and
founders who built and established these towns, as well as local
celebrities such as author Kate Douglas Wiggin. In this, the first
pictorial history of the region, the solid foundations on which Buxton,
Hollis, and Limington are
based emerge in the faces, buildings, and stories captured in these
photographs.
