Biddeford

Meer over het boek

Set against the backdrop of the 1700s and early 1800s, the narrative explores Biddeford's evolution from a prosperous fishing and lumbering village to a thriving industrial hub following the 1830 industrial revolution. The establishment of the Saco Water Power Company and textile firms led to significant urban development and cultural diversity. However, the Great Depression marked a challenging period for the city. Through a collection of images, the book vividly captures Biddeford's rich history and transformation over the years.
