328 pp; 8½"x11"; acid-free paper, hard cover, Smyth sewn, case bound in linen, indexed, 200 photographs, charts, etc. Indexed. A Penobscot Press title. 1999 (1989) The Sullivan-Sorrento Historical Society has done a delightful job of commemorating the 200th anniversary of the incorporation of the town of Sullivan, Maine. In well-researched text contributed by many different members of the Society and edited by Josephine Cooper, together with some 200 maps, charts, photographs and illustrations, the Society brings you a vivid picture of the birth and growth of one of Maine's more interesting "Down East" communities.
Revolutionary War muster rolls, records of veterans of the War of 1812, the Civil War, the Spanish-American War and World Wars I and II, Korea, and Vietnam all combine to give a good view of the disproportionate service to America given by Sullivan and Sorrento families. The inclusion of summarized census data, archaeological findings, accounts of mining, manufactures, and trade serve to bring the town alive to the reader.
