Guilford and Sangerville typify hundreds of small towns scattered across Maine; and this volume reveals the two towns rich visual history. Each a beautiful community; and nearly self-sufficient until recently; they border each other with the beautiful Piscataquis River running between. Guilford sits on the north with Sangerville on the south. From the dawn of the Industrial Revolution to the advent of electricity; almost every river in the state spawned dozens of towns as waterpower was harnessed for a variety of mills. Railroads and the subsequent highways provided the needed transportation for importing raw materials and exporting finished goods. Rivers proved to be a blessing and a curse when severe floods washed away many businesses and homes; but the area remained vibrant. While Guilford and Sangerville are quieter now; they still boast strong and proud communities.

Something you can pick up and put down - so its great for when you know you might be stuck in a waiting room. etc. We lived in Glenview over 30 years - thats where our children went to school and we watched them grow up. This book brought back so many memories. I learned so many things I didnt know and plan to investigate during our next trip back to visit relatives. Anytime I talk to someone from Glenview or with a Glenview connection. they want to know where they can get a copy of this book. My next book will be the one about the Glenview Naval Air Station - a lot of memories there. too. I love this book. Anything something reminds you of good memories. its a delight0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
