Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Gardiner, Pittston and West Gardiner: With a Sketch of the Kennebec Indians,& New Plymouth Purchase, Compromising Historical Matter From 1602 to 1852; With Genealogical Sketches of Many Families But little need be said of this volume by way of introduction. Its character will be developed to every one who peruses its contents. It has been the constant effort of the compiler to collect and arrange all the facts he could obtain from every known source, having any connection with the history of the towns of which he has treated, and he believes, and feels ready to say, that he knows of no important, uninvidious fact, which he has not recorded. If there are errors they are slight, and are such as necessarily attach to a work involving so many dates. His constant effort has been to crowd and compress his facts into the least possible space; so that if the reader looks for any felicities of diction, he will be disappointed. He will only behold a plain, unvarnished account of literal facts. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
