Excerpt from The History of Waterford, Oxford County, Maine: Comprising Historical Address, Record of Families, Centennial Proceedings This book has grown out of the Centennial Celebration of Sept. 1, 1875. The Address is, in plan, the same as given at the Centennial. It was kept in this form rather than thrown into the topical order usually followed in local history, to retain the life and symmetry of the subject-matter. In the Address there is much of general history, notably in The Sketch of Maine in 1775, Separation from Massachusetts, and Transportation Facilities, but as the particular is best understood when given in relation to the general and comprehensive, we think that this fact needs no justification. But few authorities have been named, as the sources from which local history is drawn are well-nigh innumerable. The Family Records were an after thought.
