| | Colonial Boothbay, Mid-1600s to 1775 is Barbara Rumsey's Latest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) |
 | | Colonial Boothbay is seen through the lens of the Montgomerys, who serve as carriers of information about another age and profilers of their own age. |
 | | Their fight for autonomy, battling enemies, absent proprietors such as the Kennebec Proprietors, neighbors, and family members, reflects the fight of all Boothbay settlers to establish themselves and endure. |
 | | According to Rumsey, "My favorite period is the 1600s, but there is little documented about many of the region's earliest settlers.'' And it is there that the attraction lies for Rumsey. |
