A Thesis in the Field of  History


Our friend Andy MacIsaac has just completed the above titled Thesis for the Degree of Master of Liberal Arts in Extension Studies.  As with many other items on this web site, Andy has offered to share this document with all who have an interest in The First Maine Heavy Artillery.   I hope that you will join me in offering him thanks for the work he has done, and for sharing it freely.

While I have reviewed this Thesis, I am in no way qualified to provide a review of it's content.  I can, however, attest to the substantial research that has been done, the wonderful  collection of reading material contained in the bibliographic section, and the care with which is has been prepared.  I encourage you to download the file and take the time to enjoy Andy's gift.
