Of what state was New England Art Union board member Edward Everett governor?
New England Art Union The New England Art Union (c. 1848 – 1852) was established in Boston, Massachusetts, for "the encouragement of artists, the promotion of art" in New England and the wider United States. Edward Everett, Franklin Dexter, and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow served as officers of the board. The short-lived but lively union ran a public gallery on Tremont Street, and published a journal. Artists affiliated with the union included Chester Harding, Fitz Henry Lane, Alvan Fisher, and other American artists of the mid-19th century.
Androscoggin River The Androscoggin River is a river in the U.S. states of Maine and New Hampshire, in northern New England. It is 178 mi long and joins the Kennebec River at Merrymeeting Bay in Maine before its water empties into the Gulf of Maine on the Atlantic Ocean. Its drainage basin is 3530 sqmi in area. The name "Androscoggin" comes from the Eastern Abenaki term "/aləssíkɑntəkw/" or "/alsíkɑntəkw/", meaning "river of cliff rock shelters" (literally "thus-deep-dwelling-river"); or perhaps from Penobscot "/aləsstkɑtəkʷ/", meaning "river of rock shelters". The Anglicization of the Abenaki term is likely an analogical contamination with the colonial governor Edmund Andros.
