In its earliest days; Pembroke offered abundant fishing and lush forests for its Native American inhabitants. Starting in the 1640s; European colonists began turning the town from a farming community into a successful hub for shipbuilding. Pembroke�s long history is colored by remarkable stories. Atop the old Pembroke Public Library rests a bee sculpture designed by Pembroke artist Richard Edlund; representing the spelling bees held each spring at the library since 1875. The Pembroke Monument Association first met in 1879 to discuss the purchase of a Civil War soldiers� monument for the town; yet it was nearly a decade before the monument was erected. In this collection of articles from her �Pembroke�s Past� column; Karen Cross Proctor captures the spirit of the community.

Well writtenBy Marleen LemkeI liked the honesty I felt was used in writing this book. The story of a true friendship and a bond so strong it was never truly broken.This is a great insight to Michael the person; and how hard it was for him to stay strong and endure all that the media; family; and friends; fans and people he trusted could throw his way!I would recommend this to all my friends and anyone that is curious about Michaels life.
