Book Description
Excerpt from A History of Peaks Island and Its People: Also a Short History of House Island, Portland, Maine There are no times like the old times - they shall never be forgot! There is no place like the old place - keep green the dear old spot! Peaks island is not famed in history or song.

Not illustrated. 1897 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VI. Family Histories.--Brackett, Trott, Woodbury, Parsons, Jones, Skillings, Sterling, Trefethen, Scott. "There is history in all men's lives." The people of a locality make its history, and a history of the people is almost a history of that locality. Those who settled early on Peaks Island were mostly hardy fishermen's families or those that went down to the sea in ships.

They were a settlement by themselves and shared each other's joys and sorrows. They saw the sun rise from out of the sea and the ocean was their highway. It is a story of the fathers who have passed beyond or are stepping one side for the younger generation to assume the responsibilities of life. All is not told and never will be, as much that would now interest us died with them. BRACKETT. The Brackett family is the most prominent one in the history of Peaks Island. It was known as Brackett's Island for many years. The family are descendants of George Cleeve, the first settler of Portland, and as a family have been modest, unassuming, and honorable. They have sealed their right to Cleeve's land by their own blood. The two first settlers of the name at Falmouth were killed by the Indians while defending their homes. Bracketts...
