Saco (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781531659332)

Since the development of photography in the
mid-nineteenth century, the camera has been used as
a tool of both discovery and preservation. Photographs
bring alive our picture of the past and can open a
floodgate of memories and nostalgia or inspire curiosity
and a sense of history.
Jeffrey Scully has delved into numerous private
collections, family albums, and the archives of the
McArthur Library to create a fascinating visual history of
Saco, Maine. From the shores of Saco Bay to the banks
of Goosefare Brook; from high upon York Hill to the
downtown bustle of Pepperell Square and Main Street,
the people, places, and events of the century of change
between 1850 and 1950 are chronicled for posterity.
