Amazing! Maine Stories

These stories -- that stretch from 1999 back to 1759 -- take you from an amusement park to the halls of Congress. There are inventors, artists, showmen, a railway agent, a man whose civic endeavors helped shape Portland, a man devoted to the pursuit of peace and one known for his military exploits, Maine's first novelist, a woman who recorded everyday life in detail, and an Indian who survived a British attack.

The Cause: Peace

People have advocated for peace -- as well as participating in the nation's and state's wars -- for centuries. The voices for peace are as varied as a Christian-inspired man in the early 19th century to a young girl in the late 20th century.
