Bridges to the Past: Union, Maine

David Shaub

The attempt in this book has been to tell the story of the founding of Union, a small Maine town, by ordinary people, in what was then an ordinary way. It was the way in which towns were founded from the Atlantic seaboard west to the great plains, by stripping off the forest and putting the land to work. The people in this book were not individually as important as George Washington; the town they founded was not as important as New York. But people like them made this country, and towns like this one were and are the soil in which this country’s roots are grounded. The Union Historical Society has undertaken the reprinting of Come Spring to ensure that this important historical novel remains available to readers. We feel we have a unique situation in our village; most of the sites mentioned in this story still exist and many of the descendants of those first families continue to live here in Union. We are committed to sharing this history through preservation and education.

Fraternity, Maine, is a town that Ben Ames Williams knew well. It is little changed today from what it was more than 100 years ago when he wrote his first short story about it.Ben Ames Williams gunned for birds in the surrounding village with Chet McAusland and shot black duck on the marshes. He swapped stories with the best of them around Will Bessel’s big stove.These stories about Fraternity were originally published in the Saturday Evening Post, Colliers, and the Country Gentlemen, magazines once renowned for their literary leadership. The Union Historical Society feels sure that people of this generation reading these stories for the first time will find them as enjoyable as people of an earlier generation found them when they were first published.The Union Historical Society has undertaken the reprinting of Fraternity Village to ensure that this important historical novel remains available to readers. Many of the sites mentioned in this story still exist. We are committed to sharing this history through preservation and education.
