Excerpt from History of Camden and Rockport Maine The old town of Camden, which includes the present towns of Camden and Rockport, has a most interesting history, to preserve which is the object of this volume. Mr. Locke's excellent "Sketches of the History of Camden" has long been out of print, and but a few copies are now extant. That work was published nearly half a century ago, and many important events, happening since its publication, would have become lost to future generations unless someone had undertaken the task of compiling a new history. As no one else seemed inclined to enter upon the undertaking the writer essayed the arduous and somewhat delicate work of putting into print the deeds and lives of the Camden and Rockport people from the earliest period to the present time. This work is essentially a "home made" production, as the author is a citizen of Camden, it was printed by the Camden Publishing Company and bound by Mr. Edwin F. Dillingham of Bangor, who is a member of an old Camden family and one of Camden's oldest and most loyal summer residents. The author does not claim that the work is in all respects a complete one. No work of the kind can be complete, and he is conscious that many important events may have been left out and that from the personal sketches of the lives of men of the two towns some doubtless have been omitted who are as deserving of mention as many whose lives have been given.

Tells the true story of the unique human-animal friendship between Harry Goodridge and Andre, the harbor seal who was as comfortable in Goodridge’s home as he was in Penobscot Bay. Andre swims with Harry and rides happily in the back seat of Harry’s car. He quickly picked up tricks—perhaps the first time a wild animal has been trained in a free-release situation. He became Rockport, Maine’s honorary harbormaster and was ranked “second only to Andrew Wyeth as the state’s most acclaimed summer resident.” Year after year, Andre swam south in the winter, only to return again to Harry the next spring. It’s a timeless and iconic Maine story.
As we approach the end of a century, this new book looks back at over one hundred years of Camden's and Rockport's history, with photographs of the people, places, and events which have defined the proud and vibrant communities we know so well today. Author and local resident Barbara Dyer has collected over two hundred old photographs and postcards of Camden, Rockport, and the surrounding area which range from the late 1800s to the 1950s. These delightful images show buildings long gone and others which are still familiar features of the local landscape; they bring to life events both catastrophic and celebratory from the fascinating history of these beautiful coastal communities. Most of all, the photographs introduce us to the ordinary folk who lived, loved, worked, and had fun in these tight-knit towns: fishermen, sailors, store owners, teachers, schoolchildren, and hundreds of others whose lives are such an integral part of the story of Camden and Rockport.
Wild! Weird! Wonderful! Maine. celebrates more than 300 of the natural wonders, characters, inventors, historical firsts, legends, and landmarks, that give the state its zest.
For 60 years, Fletcher Steele practised landscape architecture as a fine art, designing nearly 700 gardens. Often brilliant, always original, Steele's work is considered by many as a link between 19th century beaux arts formalism & modern landscape design.
