Before Kennebunk stood apart, Wells held the shoreline story of two communities in one. The past still speaks here. Edward E. Bourne brings early Maine back into focus with a steady eye for people, place, and record. Part new england town history, part local historical chronicle, this volume follows the Wells Maine settlement from the earliest footholds through the civic and social fabric of a growing township, and on to the defining moment of 1820, when Kennebunk was set off and incorporated. Alongside the narrative runs a biographical sketches collection that keeps names from fading into mere dates, offering a grounded view of colonial Maine families, public service, and everyday endurance. Rich in the texture of 17th century Maine and wider pre-1820 Maine history, it is especially valuable for readers drawn to kennebunk early history, land and lineage questions, and the lived realities behind New England expansion. For genealogy and local research, it remains a trusted family history reference, speaking directly to york county maine genealogy and the wider trail of new england colonial records without sacrificing readability for the casual history lover. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
