Condition: This is an original photo postcard, not a copy or reproduction. It is in NM condition. Comments: Charles Lyman Eustis must have been one of those legendary Maine characters, fiercely independent and self sufficient, living off the land, working hard, fishing and hunting for his dinner and working from dawn to dusk. At the young age of 20 he had enough of a pioneering spirit to move up from Lewiston to the mountains of Western Maine and actually buy the land that was eventually named after him as well as the land next door that became the village of Stratton. He settled down and built a sawmill and a gristmill, providing jobs and building material and food for the nearby settlers. The frontier spirit of Charles L. Eustis once defined the regions character relates Sarah Schweitzer in the Boston Globe 2/27/05, a spirit that has faded as residents moved to more civilized and profitable ways of making a living. But Charles was in the thick of it, relishing his freedom and enjoying the beautiful mountains of Western Maine.
