Built in 1754 on the eastern bank of the Kennebec River; Fort Western became one of the first permanent settlements in what would eventually become Augusta and; in 1827; the capital of Maine. Through innovations in publishing by Gannett Morse and Vickery Hill; textiles by the Edwards Manufacturing Company; and lumber production along the Kennebec; Augusta thrived and prospered. Water Street flourished into the business and cultural center of the city; while Green and Winthrop Streets became some of the areas most opulent residential neighborhoods. A trolley system and the Maine Central Railroad station tied Augusta to surrounding communities and allowed visitors to come from far and wide and spend many a night at the famed Augusta House.

Rockin ABy A CustomerAngus; Brian and the boys from the DC have spent their careers hewing pure uncompromising rock from the Mountain from whence all rock doth spew. Toiling nonstop they form the rock into blistering music that is like a blunt mallet crashing into your girating skull. This book chronicals the long careers of the lads who feel just as comfortable rocking out as hanging about in the stroh with their mates. This book will assault you like taking dope;speed;coke; two shots of bourbon and afterword you will say right Im ready.2 of 22 people found the following review helpful. BEST BANDBy J.
