DownEast.com’s trivia has stumped me two days running. Good for it.
What country was the briefest colonial power in Maine?
Answer:
The Dutch, who occupied Castine twice, once in 1674 and again in 1676.
Stuff about me
My name is Keith Michaud and this is “Letters From Away,” a blog written by a Mainer living outside the comfortable and sane confines of New England. The blog is intended for Mainers, whether they live in the Pine Tree State or beyond, and for anyone who has loved ’em, been baffled by ’em or both. Ayuh, I am “from away.” Worse still, I live on the Left Coast – in California. Enjoy! Or not. Your choice.
