When I lived in Maine (1962-64), they called people from out of state
"foreigners." People would stop on the street to talk to my baby brother in
his carriage but not address a single word to his foreigner mother! My only
real friend was a girl a year older that me who lived a few houses away. Her
parents were first generation immigrants from Austria, so you can imagine
how ostracized they were. IMHO, Stephen King is too kind in his portrayal of
the state!

Nah, true Yankee is in Maine, they view those outside of mMaine as fake =
Yankees.  But then they're rather clsoed mouthed about it.
