Excerpt from Eastern Maine and the Rebellion: Being an Account of the Principal Local Events in Eastern Maine During the War Has been our endeavor in these pages, to depict the scenes and incidents occuring at home, during the Rebellion, rather than the giving of a minute description of the varied experiences of the thous ands, who marched away from Eastern Maine, at their Country's call. We lay no claim to high literary merit, simply placing before you, in condensed form, the facts; believing that as the memories of the older readers are quickened, and the younger generation learn of the experi ences of fathers and mothers, in their efforts to preserve the Union, all will find something of deep interest.
