Ebook A Short History, of South Bristol, Maine

The old and historic town of Bristol named for Bristol, England, is one of the oldest towns in Maine, being the 20th of near 700 towns and plantations in the state. It was incorporated in 1765, fifty five years before the separation of Maine from Massachusetts and is older than the national government. For a history of Bristol, I refer the reader to the Ancient Dominions of Maine by Rufus King Sewall and Johnston's History of Bristol and Bremen.
