Summary

Dr. Silvester Gardiner was an extraordinary individual. In telling his story, Coolidge traces the early settlement of Maine, from the first settlers struggling to survive bitter winters in crude huts, to the gradual establishment of trade, sawmills, gristmills, and other commerce, and then attempts to increase the population with immigrants and instill civilization through the firm hands of religion, government, and Dr. Gardiner.
