Let’s ignore the fact that I possess absolutely no camping gear. Someone I know does, and I’m going to borrow it. I’m gung ho to trade my cell phone for a mountain pie maker and my computer for insect repellent. I want to poop in the woods for chrissakes!

24 Counties in America

Counties in America

If it was natural for settlers in America to bring with them the familiar English forms of government, it was equally natural that these forms would begin to change almost as soon as they were planted in American soil. The colonies, after all, had almost none of the uniformity of the English population and customs. They extended over a vastly broader landscape. Their people clung to the edge of a wilderness whose true size and content was almost entirely unknown. And these residents faced, not very far away, a variety of other peoples whose attitudes toward the newcomers ranged from indifference to outright hostility.

So the settlers both preserved and altered the forms to which they were accustomed.

To the south, soil, climate and plenty of space combined to foster an agricultural economy, and the English manorial system was quickly mimicked in Virginia, the Carolinas and Georgia. On both large plantations and smaller farms, settlers were distributed over a huge geographic area. The English county, as the proper governmental unit to serve a large area, was quickly adopted as the principal form of governance throughout the south.

The first county government in America was formed in 1634 at James City, Virginia. Soon the Commonwealth of Virginia boasted eight counties, with many more added throughout Virginia’s colonial history. The colony’s western border was undefined; in theory, at least, Virginia extended to the Pacific Ocean. Likewise, when King Charles II established Carolina in 1663 he granted it a charter covering the region “from the Atlantic to the South Seas.”

But in the north, conditions were quite different. The settled area in New England was much less spacious, the climate harsher, and people lived nearer each other. In some localities, in fact, local laws required that no resident be more than a half mile, or a mile, from the center of the village.

23 Maine - The traditional fifth anniversary present is wood

Gifts to UM museum a boon to art lovers
Maine - The traditional fifth anniversary present is wood. But the University of Maine Museum of Art gets to celebrate its fifth year downtown with two gifts that blow tradition out of the water.

On Thursday night, UM officials announced a donation from Machias Savings Bank that will make museum admission free to the public through the end of 2008. In addition, professor Jon Ippolito has donated eight works by his father, the renowned abstract expressionist painter Angelo Ippolito, which are valued at more than $350,000.

“By any standard, today has been a tremendous day for the University of Maine, especially the museum of art,” UM President Robert Kennedy told the crowd at Thursday’s art opening.

The donation from Machias Savings Bank was given in memory of Ted Leonard, a Bangor lawyer and UM alumnus who was a tireless advocate for the museum. At the time of his death in November, Leonard and his wife, Sandra, were trying to secure funding to make the museum accessible to more people.

is located at 40 Harlow St. in Bangor. The current exhibition, “A Legacy of Collecting: 1983-Present,” will be on view through April 5. For information, call 561-3350 or visit www.umma.umaine.edu.
