I was very interested in Maine history but when I looked into it, I had trouble finding any overview.

In the years around 1976, WW Norton published a general history of each state. Most are of high quality. Here's the one on Maine.

The Federal Writers Project State Guide series also covers all states (48 in 1930s). They're obviously dated now, but the history sections were good at the time, and the itineraries offered lots of local history.
