White Pine, Vol. 8: Series of Architectural Monographs; Port Towns of Penobscot Bay (Classic Reprint)

by Charles Dana Loomis

Excerpt from White Pine, Vol. 8: Series of Architectural Monographs; Port Towns of Penobscot Bay

All this is to paint our picture of coast vil lages, kept from growing to towns first by the unpleasant relations of French and English and then by our own war for independence. So it was that most of our houses had to wait for their builders until the Revolution had been fought, and we can see what sort of towns the Yankees could, by sheer grit, bring into being during our lean and hungry critical period from 1790 to For these houses must have echoed to the rumors and alarms of the War of -812.
