History of Rumford, Oxford County, Maine: From Its First Settlement in 1779 to the Present Time is a comprehensive historical account of the town of Rumford, located in Oxford County, Maine. Written by William Berry Lapham and originally published in 1890, this book provides a detailed overview of the town's founding, growth, and development over the course of more than a century. The book begins with an introduction to the area's geography, natural resources, and early Native American inhabitants. It then delves into the town's founding by pioneers from Massachusetts and New Hampshire in the late 18th century, and describes the challenges they faced in establishing a settlement in the rugged wilderness of western Maine. Lapham goes on to chronicle the town's growth and development in the 19th century, including its role in the lumber industry, the construction of mills and factories, and the arrival of the railroad. He also provides detailed accounts of the town's social and cultural history, including its churches, schools, and notable residents. Throughout the book, Lapham draws on a wide range of primary sources, including town records, personal diaries, and oral histories, to provide a rich and detailed portrait of life in Rumford over the course of its history. This book is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in the history of Maine, the development of the American frontier, or the social and cultural history of small towns in the 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
