Product Information

Nearly one-third of Maine residents have French blood and are known as Franco-Americans. Many trace their heritage to French Canadian families who came south from Quebec in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to work in the mills of growing communities such as Auburn, Augusta, Biddeford, Brunswick, Lewiston, Saco, Sanford, Westbrook, Winslow, and Waterville. Other Franco-Americans, known as Acadians, have rural roots in the St. John Valley in northernmost Maine. Those of French heritage have added a unique and vibrant accent to every community in which they have lived, and they are known as a cohesive ethnic group with a strong belief in family, church, work, education, the arts, their language, and their community. Today they hold posts in every facet of Maine life, from hourly worker to the U.S. Congress. These hardworking people have a notable history and have been a major force in Maine s development."

Title: 'Franco-Americans of Maine' Author Dyke Hendrickson captures their 'great passion for life' Author: David A. Sargent Publisher: The Sun Journal Date: 7/20/2010 "Much more than millworkers" is the concise and heartfelt description Dyke Hendrickson uses when he talks about Franco-American families who shaped many Maine communities. His new book, "Franco-Americans of Maine," is a picture-packed treasure chest of historical images, and a recent book signing at the Franco-American Heritage Center confirmed his observations about the area's strong ties to the past. Hendrickson talked with many Lewiston-Auburn residents who added their memories to the information he includes in his book. There is a 1916 photo of tiny 3-month-old Carroll Poulin in his father's tuba. The father, Joseph Poulin, was a violinist in the Portland Symphony Orchestra and founder of St. Peter's Choir; the son founded a well-known L-A music store. "They had taken lessons and purchased instruments at Carroll's School and Music Center and knew Carroll Poulin as an adult," Hendrickson said. He also said people fondly remember Madeleine Giguere, whose picture is in the book. She helped organize the Franco-American Collection at the University of Southern Maine, Lewiston-Auburn campus. One person pointed out that Giguere grew up in a prosperous family, Hendrickson said. "Many Franco-Americans were professionals and lived well," he was told. Hendrickson wrote his first account of the state's Franco-Americans in 1980. His own Dutch ancestry roots are from a Long Island potato farm and his New Jersey boyhood, but his fascination with the Franco-American culture blossomed during employment at the Biddeford-Saco Journal and the Portland Press Herald. As a Portland reporter, he wrote a prize-winning series highlighting first-person stories of Franco-Americans. That led to publication of a book, "Quiet Presence: Stories of Franco-Americans in New England." Hendrickson moved away from Maine, but the influence of the Franco-American culture stayed with him. "It kind of followed me," he said. "I didn't feel their story had been told. They had a great passion for life. There was a lot more joy and feeling of accomplishment in their lives." The new book, "Franco-Americans of Maine," which is from Acadia Publishing's "Images of America" series, has about 200 photos and informative captions that show many sides of the Franco-American immigrant experience throughout Maine. Dozens of photos are of Twin Cities families and scenes, including the cover photo of a 1957 Dufour-Gosselin family wedding party on the steps of SS. Peter and Paul Church in Lewiston. Inside is a scene of the large gathering for the 1897 marriage of Marie Philippon and Alfred Tancrel at 24 River St., Lewiston. Hendrickson also noted that the immigrant experience of Franco-Americans from farms in Quebec differed significantly from families coming to America from Ireland and many European countries. "There was a lot of back and forth travel going on," he said. Hendrickson divided his book into several sections that cover work, family, religious life, community, sports and recreation, arts and entertainment, education and Franco-American pride. He also has a section about Acadians and their influence along the St. John River Valley. "It's photographic evidence of what went before us," Hendrickson said. The making of bricks took energy -- and muscle. Alphee Grenier poses at the Bergeron Brickyard of Lewiston in 1940. He was born in Lac Megantic, Quebec, in 1907 and spent much of his life making bricks. However, each fall he went to work in the lumber industry, as did many Franco-American men.
