Book Description

Excerpt from Centennials of Portland: 1675, 1775, 1875 and 1975 A portion of this work may have fallen under the notice of the reader. A desire having been expressed that it should be presented in a form different from the original, the author has been induced to add to and offer it in its present shape. A glimpse is given of Falmouth in 1675; of its destruction in 1775; of Portland in 1875, and of her supposed appearance in 1975. As everbody now-a-days is bringing forth Centennial memorials, the author, not to be behind the age, herewith contributes his trifle to the common stock.
