DAMARISCOTTA — Meet author Pat Higgins at 11 a.m. at the Maine Coast Book Shop in Damariscotta for a fascinating “tour” of the mid-coast area.
From the Age of Discovery and the earliest settlement of America, Midcoast Maine has played surprising roles in America’s history. Europeans might not have survived in the New World without the Kennebec beaver trade, the lessons of the Popham Colony and the friendships Maine’s first settlers built. Experience the storied survival of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s military grandfather in precarious Revolutionary Maine and meet resilient, creative, noteworthy and notorious Midcoasters. Pat Higgins recounts Puritan power plays, the sea fight between the Boxer and the Enterprise, duels, U-boats and much more.
