Talk:Bailey Island (Maine)

Island History[edit]

ok my name is Samantha Bailey, my family owned the island way back when and id like to see a little more of the islands history. Like the fact that we sold it for a pound of tobacco and a keg of rum.

Well, Samantha, if you can find any sources to back up this claim, I invite you to incorporate them into the article. Please cite references. Otherwise, I look forward to reading an improved article. Please sign your comments with four tildes. Also would recommend you sign up for a free account with which to edit this and other articles. It's fun!

Organization and More Info.[edit]

I agree, this article definitely needs some more information. My family has been on this island for almost 100 years, and I think someone needs to completely reorganize and maybe even rewrite this article.

I have a good book on Bailey Island's history and culture, so I will look into it. ((Wikipedian1234 (talk) 02:23, 20 February 2008 (UTC)))[reply]

I added a history and notable residents section. There is much more history to be written about this island, such as its involvement in the Indian Wars (Wikipedian1234 (talk) 23:26, 20 February 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Looking forward to it! Isoxyl (talk) 23:32, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
