Lapham, William Berry, new foreword by Ruby C. Emery,

History of Woodstock, ME., with family sketches and an appendix.

Portland (Maine), Stephen Berry, Printer, 1983. Reprint. VG in VG DJ hardback. This history was originally published in a small numbered edition in Portland in 1882. This new edition includes the. entire text of that first printing plus a new foreword by the New England History Press of Somersworth, New Hampshire 03878. William Berry Lapham, who wrote the History of Woodstock, had an unusual range of interests and talent. Physician, historian, village postmaster, trial justice, civil war officer and legislator, he was also editor of The Maine Farmer and founder of the Maine Genealogist and Biographer. Lapham had deep roots in Woodstock and Oxford County. He was born in nearby Greenwood. His mother is buried here, and his maternal grandfather, Levi Berry, was one of Woodstock's first five settlers. (from foreword by Ruby C. Emery) This history traces the beginning of settlement in 1797, and portrays the years of toil and privation endured by the pioneer settlers who, because they lived deep in the interior wilderness, were obliged to get along on what they could raise. The map of Woodstock printed in this edition on end papers inside the front and back covers was taken from the Atlas of Oxford County, published 1880 by Caldwell and Halfpenny,.
