Orono by Scott Peterson Mr
The images contained in Orono present the many facets of this central Maine town. Incorporated in 1806 and named after a blue-eyed American Indian chief, Orono began as a farming community but quickly capitalized on the presence of the Penobscot and Stillwater Rivers to evolve into a burgeoning industrial town. When it became the home to Maine's land grant university in 1865, the lamp of higher learning was added to the stacks of lumber that served as Orono's contribution to state and nation. Around the beginning of the twentieth century, lumbering gave way to papermaking, which continued until the end of World War II.
Peterson, Scott: - Scott Peterson got his start in comics at DC Comics, where he edited Detective Comics and Batman: Black & White. He later went on to write The Gotham Adventures, and helped create not one, but two Batgirls, the first as the co-writer of DC's first ever monthly Batgirl series and the second as the writer of Batgirl Beyond. He's also written children's books, animation, music reviews, webcomics and novels. Scott lives up in the Pacific Northwest with his magnificent wife, children's author Melissa Wiley, and most of their six children. (One escaped.)
