"What Was Ain't What Is - A Picture History of Canton, Maine" by Norman A. Vashaw
The history of Canton told through photographs and stories about the people and places of the town.
Published in 1995, the book is described by the author: “I did not start this out as as book. Instead just a personal collection of a few old pictures. As it progressed I realized that something should be done to preserve the history of this town. This book is not designed as an authenticated source of information. However, it is as accurate as possible based on the material that was available. Also, may people have contributed bits and pieces of memories, ( yours may vary) - that’s what makes this book so special.”
The book is special indeed. Packed with photographs of people and places throughout Canton’s history, Norman Vashaw created a wonderful gift to the town when he put this book together in 1995. Many thanks to the Vashaw family for making copies available.
