Rolling back the frontier: "This episode of HOME: THE STORY OF MAINE takes us back to the 1600s when European settlers struggled to survive on the frontier. These first colonists left behind everything they knew to take advantage of the abundant resources found on the far reaches of settlement in Maine. They faced a harsh climate, cultural challenges and their own fears of the unknown to create a new life. Although their hard work paid off initially, most would flee with their lives at the end of the century and endure years at a time as war refugees"--Maine PBS Web site.
