Abstract

A stylized map of Portland with a list of street addresses once occupied by notable people, including Joshua Chamberlain, Liv Tyler, and Rudy Vallée. "Highlights of Our Tour" follows with brief stories about the Maine lives of six of the people from the map: actor Phyllis Thaxter; writer Erskine Caldwell; film character Charlie Chan (in the person of actor Sidney Toler); Nazi propagandist Axis Sally (Mildred Gillars); Bowdoin graduate and co-editor of the nation's first African-American owned newspaper, John Brown Russwurm; and co-founder of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, Ellen Gould Harmon White. [Please note: footnotes to the sections on Erskine Caldwell, Charlie Chan, and John Brown Russwurm indicate that the text was adapted from "full feature stories" available on Portland Monthly's website.}
