2 Where To Begin

I’m not sure where to begin. There’s the history of the last 16 years to think about, but there’s also the future, the promising future of MHS. And if I start with history, will it be a chro- nology of progress, or a reminiscence about friendship, or a catalog of mis- takes, or a tale of risks, or a gathering of minutiae, or a list of gifts as long as a city block? It would have to be all of these things and more. It would be a handicapped ramp in 1996; a new lecture hall in 1998; the Longfellow House restored in 2002, the Library rebuilt in 2009. It would be every trustee and board president—I can name them but there’s hardly enough room—all encouraging, committed and generous. It would be the staff, up to every challenge, looking to improve, proud of our accomplishments. It would be a bet on the Maine Memory Network in 2001, and million dollar gifts in 2007. And then the library went online, and publications got a new look, and exhibits began to glow, and partnerships were formed, and dancing and cigars, poetry and scholars, school kids from twenty countries, and trips to Europe, and the damn curators taking away my furniture.

Vitality. That’s what it is. It’s the vitality of the place—a lively unwillingness to stand still— that gives me so much hope for the future of MHS. Is that strange for an historical society? Maybe, if you believe history is the land of the dead, but not at all if you’re convinced that history is alive, a dimension of our daily experience, a touchstone and a pleasure. If you believe that, then you best get moving, because there’s lots of work to do. And that, of course, is what our board and staff are doing right now: making ambitious and thoughtful plans for the future, moving ahead with key projects, antici- pating the energy that always comes from new leadership. But it isn’t one director, or one board member, or one fancy idea that makes the difference. It’s the whole enterprise, the whole Maine Historical Society, with its members and programs and its growing service to the citizens of Maine. I may not be sure where to begin, but I can’t wait to see what’s next.

The Portland History Docent Program is a collaborative effort between MHS, Victoria Mansion, the Tate House Museum, Greater Portland Landmarks, the Maine Narrow Gauge Railroad, the Fifth Maine Regiment Museum, Evergreen Cemetery, and Eastern Cemetery to provide thorough, hands-on training for individuals interested in volunteering at one of Portland’s historic sites. The PHD program is a ten-week course; classes cover a variety of topics, from Portland and Maine history, to tour techniques and audience needs, to site-specific visits. Graduates of the course then commit Summer Learning Fun volunteer time at a site of their choice.

Update: IMLS National Leadership Grant

One year into our most recent National Leadership Grant from the Institute of Museum & Library Services, we are making great progress. The three-year proj- ect, a partnerships with the Maine State Library, provides training, support, and grants designed to help communities throughout Maine develop the local capacity needed to participate in Maine Memory Network.

Since the spring, we have awarded 20 grants to organizations or community teams across Maine to support the digitization of collections, creation of online exhib- its, or building of local history websites, all of which will become part of Maine Memory. It is amazing to see the diversity of activity the project has stimulated, the far-ranging interests it represents, and the rich new collections and stories that will soon be accessible online and included more prominently in the telling of Maine history. Examples include:

n USM: Franco-American Collection to digitize collections that document the experience of Franco-American children

n Camden Public Library: to digitize collections related to Edna St. Vincent Millay

n Kennebec Valley Community College Archive: to digitize mate- rial related to Gilman Street School in Fairfield, just redeveloped with Coastal Enterprises

n Hartford-Sumner Elementary School with Buckfield Historical Society: for students to research and digitize materials related to the library’s founder and namesake, Zadoc Long

n Sebago Historical Society: to develop an online exhibit that explores the town of Sebago’s experience during the Civil War

n Maine Folklife Center/University of Maine: to develop an online exhibit about the Eastern Corporation of Brewer and dynamics that shaped rise and fall of paper industry

MHS staff have been busy providing training and professional development to the field. We have held eight “21st Century Skills Workshops” designed to help representatives from local historical societies, librarians, and teachers explore how participation in Maine Memory can help them achieve their own professional and institutional goals, develop skills, and build local capacity. We are also offering workshops and sessions at many professional conferences with partners including Maine Archives & Museums and the Maine Council for Social Studies.

Finally, we are about to embark on a statewide outreach campaign that will promote interest in state and local history through public libraries. Look for us in your local library!

To learn more about these activities, please visit: www.mainememory.org/share_history

Is your community part of Maine Memory?!?

Steve Bromage Posters and bookmarks are being sent to every public Assistant Director library in Maine as part of a toolkit that promotes the role that libraries can play in supporting local history.

upport for Soldiers & Families On October 12, 1863, Louisa S. J. Mower of Temple wrote to Mrs. Sarah Sampson of the Maine Soldiers’ Relief Association seeking information about her husband, SBenjamin Franklin Mower of Co. I, 7th Maine Regiment. He was at the Battle of Gettysburg, then reportedly was left by his Company at Williamsport, Maryland, on July 15, 1863. MAINE MEMORY NETWORK His messmate reported that Mower “had been ill 5 days and was very weak and feverish.”

Three months later, Louisa Mower still had heard no more about her husband. She described his ring and a small miniature he carried of Louisa and their son Nathaniel Lincoln Mower when he was an infant. They also had a daughter.

Mower’s was one of hundreds of letters sent to the Maine Agency Sanitary Commission or the Maine Soldiers’ Relief Association by soldiers or members of their families. The letters asked for help with furloughs to see sick relatives, furloughs to recover from injuries, back pay, forwarding of packages, supplies for imprisoned soldiers, or, like Mower’s, sought information about soldiers. Other letters accompanied donations.

As one history of the U.S. Sanitary Commission noted, “As the men mustered for the battlefield, so the women mustered in churches, school-houses, and parlors, working before they well knew at what to work, and calling everywhere for instruction.” The Sanitary Commission helped channel home front efforts as well as the work of volunteer nurses. Maine organized a state agency of the commission with offices in Portland and Washington, D.C. Several groups including Maine Soldiers’ Relief, shared the offices and the work.

A number of Maine women were prominently involved in nursing and other relief work at the battlefield. For instance, Isabella Fogg of Calais went to An- napolis, Maryland, as a nurse in 1861 and soon signed on with the Sanitary Commission, working with hospital transports and organizing hospital stations near Chancellorsville and Gettysburg. She also helped secure state funds to buy supplies for the hospital work.

A Sanitary Commission history about Maine nurses notes that, “Miss Rebecca R. Usher was among the first to enter upon the work of humanity.” Usher, of Hollis, was assigned to the General Hospital at Chester, Pennsylvania, in 1862-1863, then went to the front near Petersburg, Virginia, where she set up a soldiers’ home. She remained there until the end of the war.

Sarah Sampson of Bath followed her husband, Capt. Charles Sampson of the 3d Maine Infantry, to action in Virginia, nursing wounded soldiers. She later joined the relief organization in Washington, helping to respond to the requests for assistance.

Many of the letters contain emotional pleas. One soldier wrote from Libby Prison, the Confederate prison in Richmond, Virginia, asking the Maine Agency to send supplies such as a ham, bologna sausages, canned salmon, milk, 5 Louisa Mower letter on missing husband, Temple, 1863 Collections of Maine Historical Society 8 been struggling for & for the Officers that will carry them through.”

The Maine Agency responded to all the letters it received, although Maine Historical Society’s collection of letters does not include the responses. From other sources, it seems that the agency often was successful in securing furloughs, back pay, and answering other questions. h Isabella Fogg, Calais, ca. 1860 Collections of Maine State Archives As for Benjamin Franklin Mower of the 7th Maine, who was 31 when he enlisted, the Maine Adjutant General’s report for 1863 lists him as ill in a hospital in Washington and as mustered out on Aug. 21, 1864. However, a history of Greene lists his death date as July 3, 1863. Other sources list his death date as July 15, 1863, or as “reported missing after the battle of Gettysburg, and by the hard fortune of war, left to die on the Battlefield.” There is no indication of when Louisa Mower found k Rebecca Usher, Hollis, ca. 1900 out her husband had died.

9 The Ties That Bind…

Family, Friends and School

The Waterman and Wolf Family Collection (Coll. 2526) is now available for research. It includes an array of old family photographs, mementos, and treasures depicting the lives of two prominent Jewish families, the Wolfs and the Watermans, who lived in the Portland area from the 1870s until the 1990s.

! Arthur Waterman

Arthur Martin “Marty” Waterman graduated from Portland High School in 1923. Marty was undoubtedly a popular student who also achieved academic prominence by receiving the James Olcott Brown academic award that same year. The only son of Ellis and Belle (Wolf) Waterman, Marty had two sisters, Sayde and Harriet, who graduated from Portland High in 1929 and 1933 respectively. A glimpse into the lives of these Waterman teens during the 1920s shows just how important school and the friends made during those years were to the adults they would become. There are scrapbooks, theater h Joseph Wolf Men’s Clothing Store, Middle Street, Portland, ca. 1900 production programs, and horse back riding club pamphlets. The photographs are numerous, including senior portraits of over 50 of Sister Sayde married after high school and had one child, Marsh Joel Marty’s classmates and large intact photographs of the classes of Tellan, who is the only direct heir of these three Waterman siblings. 1923, 1929, and 1933.
