Volume One
The colored photos on the cover of the newly-released revised edition of volume one in the Jacksonport Through the Generations series brings that book full circle. The original 1997 edition, produced by Jim Halstead on his personal computer, had pictures in color. When that limited edition proved popular beyond expectations, the Jacksonport Historical Society reprinted it commercially, in 2000, with black and white photos only. The new release, co-edited by Rebecca Halstead and Eileen J. Roberts, is an expanded version. Most notably it features a number of additional pictures, not only ones from individual families but also scenes of historical and architectural interest. The latter include views of churches, schoolhouses, docks, sawmills, farms, and stores and a postcard from 1909 showing a horse-drawn vehicle in the foreground and a panoramic view of the town in the distance. Additional new items in the revised volume are Paula Virlee’s poem "Grandma’s Root Cellar" and an anonymous piece "That Old Time Apron." The former is connected with a photo of the Erskine root cellar and the latter with a 1939 photo of six Jacksonport women busily preparing food. An epilogue by Becky Halstead describes how her father printed out the first edition and invites others to join the historical society as "Keepers of the Past."
