Description
Maine?s history is forever bound up with natural resources above and below its land and sea, such as forests and fisheries. Maine?s major economic activities?lumbering, granite quarrying, shipbuilding, farming, papermaking, manufacturing, and tourism?are usually tied in some way to these resources. Chief among these resources has always been the people of Maine, including the Wabanaki and subsequent immigrant groups. This course examines the history of all Maine?s peoples as they built economic, political, and socio-cultural systems from pre-colonial times to the present. Prerequisite: ENG101, any 100-level history course, or permission of the instructor.
