Description

"A literal transcription, poor spelling and all, of the Hope, Maine town clerk's ledger. The ledger includes the minutes of Town Meetings, beginning with the date of Hope's incorporation in 1804. It continues through the Embargo Act years, beginning in 1807, the years of discussion and voiting for separation of the District of Maine from Massachusetts, which was accomplished in 1820, through the early years of the town's road building, cemetery construction, bridge building and school district organization. Additionally, the ledger provides the early history of what became the town of Appleton, as it was not until 1843 that Hope ceded a significant portion of valuable property to Appleton. This book contains an every name ledger index. It also includes a list of town offers; a list of town roads laid out and/or discontinued; and a list of the 1821 town taxpayers with the amount of their State, County, & town tax. There are limited footnotes and sidebars providing additional information." -From the back cover of the book. Physical Description: Hardcover book, 8.5" x 11.25", 456 pp.
