Book Description
Located just 10 miles west of the state's largest city, Gorham, Maine, is known as a college town, a bedroom community, and a suburb of Portland. In this unique pictorial history, discover the early days of Gorham and the residents who established the community's traditions and quality of life. With the advent of the automobile and a new accessibility to other cities, the face of Gorham was changed forever. Residents no longer traveled via the York-Cumberland canal or electric trolleys; gone were the livery stables, gunpowder mills, and tanneries of an early Gorham. View the early industries and activities of the community in this carefully crafted historical tribute, compiled and written by local historian David Arthur Fogg. Included in Gorham are the schools founded in its early days and the educators who shaped the lives of residents. John Green became Gorham's first paid teacher in 1765, receiving three pounds yearly for keeping school. The Western Maine Normal School, now known as the University of Southern Maine, is included as well.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of Gorham, Me The town was the first political creation of our New England fathers. Whether they knew it or not, the Republic was born when our Puritan ancestry met together at convenient points and discussed their affairs familiarly in town meetings, and decided questions of public concern by voting. Every town, begun in colonial days, has done something to help make the modern State; as every single letter of the alphabet plays its part in the oration of the statesman. The more we know of these early beginnings of the country, the better do we understand our own times, and appreciate the life and institutions of to-day.
