Maine's Disastrous History
A new site called GenDisasters has a whole section devoted to natural and man-made calamities in Maine.

Oh, the humanity!

I had no idea there even WAS a croquet factory in Maine! I love the internet... *grin*
Don't take it too hard. I lived in Clinton for about 5 years, and I didn't know about it either.
