The height of its popularity coincided directly with the coming of summer tourism to the islands of Maine’s Casco Bay. Especially during a period from the Harpswell Steamboat Company’s founding in to America’s entry into World War I in , thousands of tourists poured onto tiny Orr’s Island each summer hoping to meet favorite characters from Pearl and visit their homes as well as the novel’s outdoor locations. Islanders responded by creating a literal cottage industry, turn- ing their houses into the homes of the Pearl, Captain Kittridge, or Aunt Roxy, charging admission to caves and coves, and even doing some role-playing. Feuds broke out among islanders over the authenticity of these lucrative competing concessions, and the Pearl phenomenon was so pronounced that it even created a rush for summer real estate. In , Minneapolis journalist Frank R. Stockton wrote: “After Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe published her ‘The Pearl of Orr’s Island,’ that neglected piece of insular realty came into the market and for some time the rush to get eligible tracts and lots bore some resemblance to Editions and formats, “Pearl of Orr’s Island,” OCLC WorldCat, https://www .worldcat.org (accessed November , ).

    Published quarterly by the Lovell Historical Society Volume 17, Number 4 Fall 2010 The Garcelon Family in front of their home on Kezar Lake. Photo donated by David C. Gareelon The Story Behind the Garcelon Mansion By David C. Garcelon At the north end of Kezar Lake sits a magnificent neoclassical style home known as the "Garcelon Mansion". Built for Charles Augustus Garcelon and his family in 1908 and 1909, the house commands magnificent views ofthe White Mountains and is unequalled in the quality of its design. Constructed by Italian craftsmen, the house features maple floors, hand-carved paneling and an elaborate staircase framed by columns. This is the story ofhow this home came to be built. Charles Garcelon was born in Lewiston on November 14, 1842. He was the son of Dr. Alonzo and Ann Augusta (Waldron) Garce10n and the great-great-grandson ofJames and Deliverance (Annis) Garcelon, who were among the first settlers in 1776 of Lewiston Falls, an Indian garrison on the Androscoggin River. The family's imprint on the area exists to this day. The Garcelons were farmers. They were also very much involved in the development ofLewiston and its sUlTounding area. From the time Charles was born in 1842, until he left for the Civil War in 1862, he was at the center of a family which was not only known for having the finest horses, growing the largest cabbages and having the best orchards, but who also started the Lewiston Falls Journal.

At Giant’s Stairs, views of bedrock and eastern Casco Bay are easily accessed and enjoyed along an easy half mile loop shoreline path. This 26-acre property was donated to the town in 1910 by Captain Henry and Joanna Sinnett. An additional one-acre parcel was donated to the Harpswell Heritage Land Trust by Adelaide McIntosh.

Maine Geological Survey, Department of Agriculture, Conservation & Forestry 2 Giant's Stairs, Harpswell, ME Maine Geological Survey Geologic Setting The majority of the bedrock exposed at Giant's Stairs is assigned to the Cape Elizabeth Formation, part of the Casco Bay Group. The Casco Bay Group is made up of a series of metamorphosed volcanic and sedimentary rocks that were deposited in the Ordovician, between 450 and 470 Million years ago (West and Hussey, 2016). Rocks of the Casco Bay Group are found in a 100-mile-long northeast-trending belt extending from Portland in the south to just south of Bangor in the north (West and Hussey, 2016).
