Maine has developed into a sometimes mythical vacationland of moose and lobster and lighthouses set against breathtaking vistas and endless natural beauty. But the state's history is more real than postcards; replete with daily struggle and triumph, and boasting important politicians, brilliant inventors, successful athletes, and popular creative professionals. Although a small state, it has often touched the world in an outsized way, from the heroics of Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain at Little Round Top during the Civil War to the inspiration and tragedy of young Samantha Smith during the Cold War. Along the way, Margaret Chase Smith has inspired, Stephen King has scared, and the Ice Storm challenged. This fascinating book from Joseph Owen, a long-time newspaperman, chronicles day-by-day, from January 1 to December 31, the highlights and lowlights, the famous and infamous, and the big and small of everyday life in Maine. Perfect for history buffs, lovers of Maine, and those looking to celebrate Maine's bicentennial.
