Logging Days Gone Now Quiet Bangor Relives Roarin Past
William Langzettel recalls Bangor Maine as a lumber frontier town now 125 years into a quieter era. The piece traces Bangor from its 1834 mayoral start to its 32 000 residents and its rise as a lumber capital with famed barges salting the Penobscot River and the Devil’s Half Acre as a roistering hub. It notes ships built on the Penobscot, the War of 1812 damage, and the shift of lumbering west as pine and spruce resources dwindled by 1872, ending with Bangor’s faded opulence and lingering legends of Paul Bunyan’s native ties.
