<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Also known as the Crossroads of Maine due to the<br>intersection of five major routes in its village center, <br>Gray is a town known for its exciting past. The home of the<br>first water-powered woolen mills built in the United States, <br>Gray has experienced tremendous success through the years<br>while maintaining its small town values. In addition to the<br>town s sense of community and drive to succeed, its prime<br>location between the cities of Portland and Lewiston has<br>also contributed to its growth and progress.<br>This richly detailed visual history chronicles Gray s<br>last 230 years, beginning with the 18th century, when<br>the early settlers established King s Mast Yard. In this<br>collection of over 200 photographs, the author explores a<br>variety of topics, from the nationally known grave site of a<br>Confederate soldier to one of the first high-speed electric<br>railways. As you leaf through the pages of this book, you<br>will meet many of the people who have shaped the town s<br>history, from a teacher of the Fisher Brothers, the designers<br>for GM automobiles, to the citizens whose influences went<br>far beyond Gray s borders and into the worlds of banking, <br>medicine, and moon exploration."
