To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
His literary and historical work was his real life inter- est. He was devoted to books and to Art. He loved his State of Maine, and its history was as familiar to him as is the alphabet to most people. He lived with the early voyagers, knew of every settlement in Maine from its incep- tion across the seas until its culmination on our shores. Dates, names and events were at his tongue's end and no man in Maine was his equal in early Maine and New Eng- land lore. He wished to be known as an "Hist...orian, " and told me he hoped to be remembered as one. His political and business successes were to him as nothing in comparison with those in connection with his historical work. A painter of landscapes and of animals, for his own recreation, he showed real ability as many canvases will testify. A complete list of my father's historical works would occupy too much space in this brief biography, but some of the most important were as follows: "Trelawney Papers, " "George Cleave and His Times, " "The British Invasion from the North, " "Sir Ferdinando Gorges and His Province of Maine, " "The Pioneers of New France in New England, " "The Voyages of Jacques Cartier, " and "Documentary His- tory of Maine" (24 volumes).
