Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Presque Isle Register, 1904 From a pamphlet giving the account of an excursion taken by the "Editors of Maine" in 1858 we find the appearance of Presque Isle village at that time described as follows: "It is a smart little village, this Presque Isle. It has a new, spruce, go ahead look, and evidently don't intend to be lost in the woods. It is going to imerge from the wilderness and become a thriving and populous place. Situated on the Presque Isle stream, about one mile from its junction with the Aroostook, the village lies at the base of a high slope of land, snugly nestling in its little valley. From the summit of this elevated ridge, up which one of the village streets extends, a fine view is obtained of the surrounding forest, which hems the village in upon all sides. The place contains one hotel, five or six stores, a very neat schoolhouse, and forty or fifty dwelling houses. Population two or three hundred. The Presque Isle stream affords water power, which is improved by saw, shingle, clapboard and grist mills.
