Description
|
|
|
|
Describing war, wealth, industry, and oddity, former Lewiston Sun Journal columnist Luann Yetter reveals the richness of Franklin County's past. She describes the early years, the rumored Indian attack that led to the discovery of Rangeley Lakes, the World War I sacrifices of Company K, and the Weld baseball player who managed Babe Ruth's Red Sox to two World Series championships. Here too, the delinquent debt collected by Paul Revere, the murder suspect who made history by (unsuccessfully) defending himself, and the near total destruction wrought by the flood of 1869. This book is one of a series of county and city histories that describe the people, events, growth, institutions, and industries of their respective regions, detailed with personal stories and illustrated with dozens of archival black and white photographs.
