Bangor: The Center of Maine

Sample paragraph: History gives the distinction of Bangor\u27s first settler to Jacob Buswell who, in 1769, built a log hut near the present site of St. John\u27s Catholic Church. Among the French and Indians, Bangor was known variously as Kadesquit, Conduskeag and, later, Kenduskeag. In 1776 there were some 75 persons, adults and children, resident in Kenduskeag Plantation, the settlement being in the neighborhood of Penjejawock stream, near Mt. Hope Cemetery. Following the close of the Revolutionary War, more settlers arrived and with them was the first pastor, Reverend Seth Noble, a native of Westfield, Mass.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1238/thumbnail.jp
