Peter Edes (1756-1840), the first printer in Bangor, and one of the first publishers in Maine, was a patriot in the American Revolutionary War. Edes apprenticed at his father's print shop in Boston until 1779. Active revolutionaries, the family were involved in the organization of the Boston Tea party. Edes kept a diary while jailed for three months for his openly anti-British stand after Bunker Hill. In late 1785 Edes began publishing his own weekly newspaper, The Exchange Advertiser. He moved from colony to colony, publishing the Newport Herald in Newport, Rhode Island, returned to Boston and then on to North Hallowell, Maine (now Augusta) where he began another newspaper, The Kennebeck Intelligencer. Edes' enterprises seem never to have been financial successes, and he eventually left Hallowell to escape competition. In 1815, Peter Edes became the first printer in Bangor, Maine and publisher of the Bangor Weekly Register. He published the first book to be printed in Bangor, Joseph Whipple's The History of Acadie, Penobscot Bay and River... After leaving Bangor, Edes moved to Baltimore, working for his son until the son and Edes' wife died in a cholera epidemic in 1832. He returned to Bangor, living with a daughter until his death in 1840. The De Burian Society was a private book collectors' club in Bangor and publisher of three scarce and important books, on Edes; on Moses Greenleaf, Maine's first mapmaker; and on Jeduthan Baldwin, who was a Continental Army Colonel in the Revolutionary War.
