en
This video explores the growth of the paper industry and hydroelectric utilities; Maine's role in American expansionism; immigration and the decline of agriculture; urban problems and Maine's contributions to progressive reform; the growing national interest in the outdoors; the effects of World War I; and the peculiar self-centeredness of the 1920s, fueled by automobiles, movies and radio. The story of Modern Times in Maine and America is told through original music, narration, rare moving images, many still photographs never publicly seen before, and interviews with Mainers who still sharply remember what life was likein the early years of the century.' ONSITE REFERENCE ONLY.
