About the Book

Pleasant Ridge Plantation

This book gives you an insight on how the Hunnewell ancestors obtained their land and includes families who used to own land on “The Ridge” before Central Maine Power built Wyman Dam. There are funny stories about the people in the area, a chance to follow the “old road” that is now under Wyman Lake and the road built after Wyman Dam was completed.

BINGHAM GATEWAY TO THE MAINE FOREST

This book includes chapters and pictures on Concord Township, Doctors/Undertakers (from 1812 up to 2000), Roads/Railroads, Churches, Organizations Mills, and Schools. The Bingham High School Basketball Team was the first in the State of Maine to win6 Gold Balls in arrow. That chapter includes a picture and names of all the players for each of the 6 years and for 3 of those years there were a set of twins on the teams. The chapter on Selectman lists every First, Second and Third Selectman from 1900 to 2005. It includes pictures and a short story of every resident the town dedicated the Town Report to for each year from 1965 (first year it started) to 2002. The book does not include Pleasant Ridge Plantation (except for making Maple Syrup back in early 1900) as there is already a book written by Robert Hunnewell – Pleasant Ridge Plantation – (my father) and already published by Authorhouse.

It is a very interesting book for any person who has ever lived or has ancestors who lived in Maine. It has over 250 pictures and 99% of each picture lists the name and where the person is sitting. You could find your ancestor and know more about your ancestor. There are many wonderful poems written by locals in the old days that had they had known or had they have had money could have been published. Those poems are Excellent.
