His grandson, Robert\u003cbr\u003eHallowell Gardiner, later devoted himself to the civic, \u003cbr\u003eindustrial, educational, and religious development of the\u003cbr\u003ecommunity founded there.\u003cbr\u003eIn this fascinating pictorial history, Gardiner s story is\u003cbr\u003etraced from Colonial times to World War II. The images\u003cbr\u003edeliver us to intriguing destinations: along the picturesque\u003cbr\u003eKennebec watching the steamer Star of the East sail to\u003cbr\u003eits wharf, and Depot Square in 1884 at the peak of the\u003cbr\u003erailroad era.
