Snow swirled around the first Sandy River settlers in the winter of
1780, testing pioneering spirits. But the founders proved tough and
able, incorporating Farmington in 1794 and soon establishing other
towns, raising crops, building roads and institutions and bringing
Franklin County to life. Former "Lewiston Sun Journal" columnist
Luann Yetter 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. Yetter also
notes 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. Describing
war, wealth, industry and oddity, she reveals the richness of
Franklin County's past.
