From the New York Times, dated April 8, 1861:

I'm curious as to what others think about the following questions:

When should we start celebrating the Civil War Sesquicentennial?

What do you think the State of Maine should commemorate during the sesquicentennial?

I have some thoughts but am curious as to what some of you are thinking about the big dates coming up in the next five years. What are you thinking about?

My Dear Mr Pellerin~
Miss Rose of the 20th ME here. I do have some names of folks here who may be able to assist you in your search for information on the 19th ME. Let me check around a bit.

You may find information on the maine.gov site. The State Archivist has a wealth of information. You can find it at http://www.maine.gov/sos/arc/about/index.html

A good avenue for you to go is posting here on mainemilitia. There may be others out there with suggestions for you as well.
