The Story of New Sweden [Maine]

Contains one of the earliest, personal accounts of the first group of Swedish immigrants to establish a settlement in the state of Maine. In 1870, a group of 51 settlers led by W.W. Thomas arrived at their future home site. This small but captivating volume preserves their story, told firsthand by W.W. Thomas. An appendix includes a complete list of the 22 men who received the first lots in the township. Charming illustrations, the speeches of several prominent community leaders, and letters from government officials are included.
