Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr.: Maine’s State Historian Discusses Baxter

Earle Shettleworth is widely regarded as the foremost authority on the history of Maine. He has been serving as Maine's State Historian, a position appointed by the governor, for the past 20 years. Bill and Jensen had the privilege of speaking with Earle about Percival Baxter's life, as only he could. Earle knew Baxter, and in sharing his personal experiences, he gives us a unique insight into Baxter's life as a Portlander and a true man of Maine. This podcast is available in two parts.


Your hosts for Baxter and Friends are Jensen Bissell, former Park Director, and Maine's own Bill Green; both are members of the board of directors of Friends of Baxter State Park.
