Maine, although a province of Massachusetts until 1820, has a history of its own. Maine men have always stood shoulder to shoulder with the sons of the old mother Commonwealth and they share in the glory of her his tory. Nobly have they borne the responsibilities of their times. The early settlers, as civilization demanded, bravely contested with the savages the right to occupy our rugged soil, and the story of their lives is one of heroism. In 1690, nearly all were driven from the prov ince, but their sons and grandsons returned and reoccupied the abandoned homesteads. The siege of Louisburg, in 1 745, was suggested by a Maine man, William Vaughan. Gen. William Pepperrell, a Maine man, commanded the troops, and a considerable portion of the officers and men were from the province. Gen. Pepperrell was knighted for the wonderful success of that expedition. Sons of Maine served bravely during the campaigns of the seven years' war, and at the first alarm from Lexington they grasped their muskets and marched at once to Cam bridge. At Machias, the. gallant men of that little settle ment gave us, on June 12, 1775, "the Lexington of the seas." At the siege oi Boston, Maine men did valiant service in the trenches, and of the soldiers who heroically checked the advance of the British army at Hubbardton, one-fourth were from the province of Maine. Maine men were at Quebec with Arnold, also at Ticonderoga, Long Island, Stillwater, Saratoga, the surrender of Burgoyne, spent the winter at Valley Forge, were at Monmouth and Quaker Hill, and followed the fortunes of the Continental 4 SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION. army until the surrender at Yorktown in 1781, remaining in the service until November, 1783. The daring fisher men of our coast served in the Continental navy and were with John Paul Jones. They proudly walked the decks of our privateers in two wars, and dealt blows that were felt by our enemies. After the Revolution, many who had served in the Continental army, settled in Maine, among them Generals Knox, Lincoln, Wadsworth, also Henry Dearborn, Paul D. Sargent, David Cobb and many other officers. The descendants of those patriotic ancestors have added glory to their fathers. Our gallant Commodore Preble is a conspicuous figure in the early history of the American navy. In the war of 18 12, although that war was unpopular with our people, Maine shirked no responsibility. In the great Civil War our record is known of all men. Maine sent into the field over seventy thousand of her sons. It was one of her regiments that returned with the largest number of battles recorded on its flag, of any regiment in the service, and another of its regiments had the greatest loss of any in a single battle. The colors which they bore are in the State House at Augusta, emblems of the devotion of the men of Maine in main taining the integrity of the Union. In a word the men of Maine have fallen in every war from King Philip's until the surrender at Appomattox, and they lie buried on nearly every battlefield. The land is holy where they fought, And holy where they fell ; For by their blood that land was bought, The land they loved so well. THE MAINE SOCIETY. MAINE SOCIETY SONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION.
