Bangor is a city that has grown in many ways since Jacob Buswell
and his family, the first white settlers, built their log cabin by
the Penobscot River in 1769. Over the course of the nineteenth
century, Bangor developed into a cosmopolitan center of Maine, but
to this day it retains some of the proud characteristics of a town
that was once the lumbering capital of the world. Collected in this
fascinating visual history are over 200 photographs that together
reflect the cityAa's rich and diverse history. The photographs show
more than a century of change, with stirring images of four-masted
schooners in the harbor, of log drives, of floods, and of fires.
People fill the book: Amelia Earhart and Presidents Roosevelt,
Eisenhower, Nixon, and Kennedy pictured on visit; the Brady Gang,
shot by the FBI in 1937 as the nationAa's most wanted criminals;
and especially the hardworking men and women who built Bangor into
the Aa"Queen City of the East.Aa"
