Book Description
MAINE'S VISIBLE BLACK HISTORY, by H. H. Price and Gerald Talbot, explores how Black men and women have been integral parts of Maine culture and society since the beginning of the colonial era. Indeed, Mainers of African descent served in every American conflict from the King Philip's War to the present. However, the many contributions of blacks in shaping Maine and the nation have, for a number of reasons, gone largely unacknowledged. Maine's Visible Black History now uncovers and reveals a rich and long--neglected strata of state history and proves a very real connection to regional and national events.

Book Description
Maine is populated with intriguing characters who set in motion a fascinating, compelling story of railroads and the unique communities they helped to build. One of the first states to build railroads and trolleys in the United States, Maine at one point had more than ninety communities with trolleys. Standard-gauge and "two-footers" crossed the state, including the St. Lawrence & Atlantic and the Bangor & Aroostook. From an international electric trolley to the attempted World War I dynamiting of a railroad bridge between the United States and Canada, the state is home to a rich rail heritage. Join Bill Kenny as he takes you on a journey from the first tracks made of wood to today's high-speed Downeaster Amtrak train.

Book Description
This book presents the story of the lynching of James Cullen in Mapleton, Maine in 1873. The incident is the only known lynching in New England. The book also examines lynching in the United States and describes how this particular lynching compares to other lynchings. For the first time ever, the phenomenon of lynching as a whole is examined, and the elements common to all lynchings are described. An examination of capital punishment in Maine and neighboring New Brunswick, Canada is also included, as is an examination of extra-legal violence in the northeast region. In addition, the extensive folklore of Maine's Jim Cullen lynching is discussed, along with how the story of this particular lynching has changed and evolved over time to become the epic story it is today.
