Maine: The Pine Tree State from Prehistory to the Present (Judd, Churchill, and Eastman)
Chapter 18: New Industries in an Age of Adjustment, 1865-1930
Nathan R. Lipfert writes about the four new industries that arose in Maine after the Civil War-- namely hydroelectric power development, paper production, shore fisheries, and tourism--and mainly focuses on the intricacies of ground fishing.
Dr. Richard W. Judd contrasts the smaller-scale and independent ownership aspects of the ground fishing economy with an analysis of the capital-intensive pulp and paper industry that created "entire new cities in the wilderness." And Dr. Richard W. Wescott writes about the burgeoning tourism industry in Maine, a development described as the "second discovery of the Maine coast" before Dr. Richard W. Judd chronicles the development of hydroelectric power in the state.
