[edit] History section

The writing style of much of the text is a bit odd... somewhat colloquial, quaint, and definitely from the pre-political-correctness era. Was it "lifted" from some dusty old book on the history of Yarmouth? If so, it should probably be cited... and probably rephrased further to make it more modern and encyclopedic sounding. I've tried to do a little of that.... JamesofMaine 21:26, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I think it is just a product of someone from Maine writing it. I am actually from Yarmouth and this is exactly how the long-time locals recall history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.97.230.243 (talk) 18:30, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
