Book Description

Excerpt from A History of the Towns of Bristol and Bremen in the State of Maine, Including the Pemaquid Settlement Extracts from original documents and letters have been freely introduced, in the belief that we thus get a more vivid and faithful picture of the persons and events described. These extracts are always given exactly as they are found in the originals, without any attempt to correct errors whether in orthography or grammar. In some cases the authors were really illiterate, but this is not to be inferred because of peculiarities observed in their modes of spelling words, or peculiar modes of expression. In those early times great diversity in the modes of spelling words, including even proper names, was allowed. The same person would at different times use different modes of spelling his own name.
