Abstract
Reviews of two recent Portland history books: "A Concise History of Portland, Maine: An Incendiary Record," written by John B. Robinson and published by Warren Machine; and "A Short History of Portland," written by Allen Levinsky and published by Commonwealth Editions. The books are criticized for leaving out gay artists and writers like Marsden Hartley and John Preston. With a selection of recommended readings that fill in the gaps of Portland's untold "history."
