<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Prior to the American Revolution, Dr. Silvester<br>Gardiner, a prominent Boston physician, acquired<br>land on Maine s Kennebec River. His grandson, Robert<br>Hallowell Gardiner, later devoted himself to the civic, <br>industrial, educational, and religious development of the<br>community founded there.<br>In this fascinating pictorial history, Gardiner s story is<br>traced from Colonial times to World War II. The images<br>deliver us to intriguing destinations: along the picturesque<br>Kennebec watching the steamer Star of the East sail to<br>its wharf, and Depot Square in 1884 at the peak of the<br>railroad era. We visit an ice house on the river, where<br> frozen gold was harvested; Water Street during the<br>destructive 1896 flood; and Pulitzer Prize-winner Laura E.<br>Richards Yellow House, during the visits of her mother, <br>Julia Ward Howe, and her colleague, Helen Keller."
