One of the most interesting things about almost every photo of maine from the 1800’s the lack of trees- the impact of switching from firewood to oil/gas/coal/alt was huge. I’ve read journals from the mid 1800’s describing the Maine coast as “treeless” up to 50 miles inland. It’s truly remarkable how the landscape evolves over time.
