Many an ancient spot, rendered dear by tradition and sacred associations, is disguised by a modern aspect. But though time brushes away the old landmarks and the once familiar scenes disappear, the halo cast by memory remains, and the locality lives in our hearts and thoughts as it was before the change. Rev. Dr. T. DeWitt Talmage. Many people visit Old Pemaquid every year who have once claimed it as their home, but have been obliged to seek employ- ment elsewhere. Few visit this place who do not wish to come again to enjoy its attractive natural scenery and try to fathom the hidden mysteries of its past. After one year of research here I thought it would be an easy task to write a history of Pemaquid. To-day after many years of investigation I have changed my mind. It is not from lack of interesting material, but it has been difficult to select the most interesting facts and put them in the most attractive form. I am especially indebted to Rev. H. O. Thayer of Port- land, Maine, for valuable aid in compiling this work and for translations of important French documents; also to Miss Bell, a lady from Canada, a good French scholar, who made her home here at the Jamestown Hotel, I am indebted for transla- tions of French documents and other useful information. From Prof. John Johnston's History of Bristol and Bremen, which has been very freely quoted in this work, I have obtained more information than from any other single volume. Others, too numerous to mention, have contributed a sketch, a poem, a story, or bits of history,— to all of whom I tender my hearty thanks. 6 TWENTY YEARS AT PEMAQUID At the Boston Public Library are to be found more than thirty books and manuscripts containing history of this locality; many in English, some in French and Spanish, records of those three nations which struggled for possession of this continent for many years after its discovery by Columbus. It is essential to consult all of these to obtain the history of ancient Pemaquid. Owing to its control by different nations at different periods it has had a wonderfully checkered career. Being near the east- ern boundary line of New England and the French on the west, and claimed for a long time by both nations, was the cause of much contention, and finally the construction of Fort William Henry at an expense of nearly 20,000 pounds. This was the third fort erected here. Sir William Phips, the builder, was a native of Maine, and the first Governor of Massachusetts be- fore their separation. The remains of this fort, covering nearly one-half acre of land, enclosing it with walls six feet thick on the side towards the sea, (formerly twenty-two feet high) amaze visitors who inquire why such a structure was required here, away down east." Since publishing and disposing of my first edition of the history of this place, entitled Ten Years at Pemaquid," there has been a constantly increasing demand for more information about this locality. The summer travel to Maine has in- creased wonderfully, the facilities for reaching places of interest greatly improved by the fine steamers of the Eastern Steamship Corporation, which ply along the New England seacoast all the way between the British Provinces and New York. The handsome yachts, naptha boats and automobiles, bring- ing many people here, the attractions of this place have been increased by restoring the old castle at the west corner of the stone fort of William Henry, which surrounded the Fort Rock of Pemaquid, on which is the date of the landing of the first English people here, on August 8th and 10th, 1607. This structure was built by Sir William Phips, to prevent the Indians from using it as they had done to capture Fort Charles TWENTY YEARS AT PEMAQUID 7 in 1689, while under the jurisdiction of New York, when Sir Edmond Andros was governor. This castle, though a small part of the fortification, answers for a monunaent and museum combined, being about one hundred and fifty feet in diameter and thirty-five feet high. In the basement are the remains of the magazine, and many relics gathered about the old fort walls. The room on the second floor is made attractive by show, cases filled with relics, gathered principally about the ruins here, and choice pictures and paintings of the builders of two of the forts, the French commander of the naval fleet, Siur De Iberville, and the ships he used to capture it with, and many others pertaining to the history of this locality. From the flat roof of this castle a grand panoramic view is to be ob- tained of the harbors, bay and ocean, in one direction, dotted with many islands, and vessels are to be seen most of the time. In the opposite direction the winding river of Pemaquid, the little village and scattered cottages of the summer visitors and permanent residents, much of the land being covered with the evergreen spruce and fir trees; all combining to make the scene attractive and long to be remembered with pleasure. CHAPTER I. Location of Pemaquid ALTHOUGH once the most noted locality by far of all New England, to-day comparatively few people know anything of Pemaquid, its location, its topography or forma- tion, or its history. Pemaquid as known to-day embraces three natural divisions of the southern part of the town of Bristol in Lincoln County, Maine. Bristol is bounded on the west by the Damariscotta River, on the north by the town of that name, and Bremen, once a part of Bristol, on the east and south by Broad Sound, the ocean and John's Bay. John's River on the west and Pemaquid River on the east divide the lower section into three parts, consisting of high ridges of land which lie between them. Bristol derived its name from a noted city of that name in England, whose leading merchants were among the first to manifest a deep interest in American discovery, and subscribed a thousand pounds to fit out an expedition in 1 603 to explore and trade on the New England coast. It was once on the highway of travel, when sailing vessels necessarily visited land often for fresh supplies of fuel and water. Now larger and swifter ships propelled by steam, race across the Atlantic Ocean in less days than it then took weeks, and the passing immi- grant or traveler is rushed on to the more southern and west- ern parts of our country, leaving the varied attractions of our State unseen, and by many unknown. As the great lines of ships pass us on the one side, so the lines of railroads transport their passengers upon the other, > c3 i "o O 3 o X TWENTY YEARS AT PEMAQUID 9 leaving old Pemaquid neglected while its inhabitants seek a livelihood on the very site of its ruins, former paved streets, and fortifications. All along the sea coast which bounds the southern shore of Maine, are many points, or peninsulas vary- ing in length and height, and islands, which are all caused by nature's upheaval of mineral formation, the unbroken parts fonliing its peninsulas, and those rising out of the ocean at their southern extremities, the beautiful islands for which this coast has been noted since its first discovery by the white man. These divisions of land have been compared to the fingers of one's hand, between which, flow bays and rivers of salt and fresh water. Across the head waters of the bays in this section, to save expensive bridging, the railroad extends direct from Bath to Rockland, thus spanning the territory of Pemaquid, east and west, and which — bounded by the Kennebec and Penobscot — was claimed formerly by both the French and the English.

  • Return the Tides Resource Book 1-1 Tidal Marsh Formation 1-2
    Return the Tides Resource Book World Wide Web Version CONSERVATION LAW FOUNDATION by Erno R. Bonebakker, Portland ME with contributions by Peter Shelley, CLF, Rockland ME Kim Spectre, CLF, Rockland ME CREDITS AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This resource book was developed during the Casco Bay “Return the Tides” pilot project in the summer of 1999. In large part, it is an adaptation and development of the marsh assessment manual developed by Rob Bryan of Maine Audubon and Michele Dionne of Wells NERR1 and the methods developed by the Parker River Clean Water Association in Newburyport, MA.2 Particular credit is due to Rob Bryan of Maine Audubon Society and Dr. Michele Dionne of the Wells Reserve for their guidance in the preparation of this manual. Rob’s unfailing support and advice has been a particular help. David Mountain and Tim Purinton of the Parker River Clean Water Association in Newburyport, MA were also critical in compiling their field methods handbook describing a simple way to develop and record useful inventory information using volunteers.. In addition, this book is the product of the thoughts and vision of a number of people who have dedicated themselves to estuaries: the science of estuary systems, the education of the public about the wonders of these systems, and the protection and restoration of these special places. They were completely generous in allowing us to borrow shamelessly from their writings and thinking and this effort in Maine would not have been possible without their gracious support. To that end, we would like to thank the following individuals and commend our readers to their efforts directly.

The Etehimin formed a sub group which included the Halecite and tee Passamaquoddy, The Abnaki customs and beliefs are closely related to the hicrnac, and their ethnic relations arc with the tribes north of the St. Lawrence. The Abnaki village w;.m. situated near the mouth of the Penobscot River. From 1604, when Champlain went up that river to toe vicinity of the present Bangor the Abnaki were an important factor in the history of Paine. They occupied the region between the St. Johns River and the Saco River until their withdrawal to Canada. Through the influence of the French missionaries the Abnaki formed a close attachment for the French, and with them carried on an almost constant war with the English until the fall of the French power in America. Gradually the Abnaki withdrew to Canada, and settled at St. Francis, near Pierreville, Que.

  • Atlantic Salmon EFH the Proposed EFH Designation for Atlantic Salmon
    Atlantic salmon EFH The proposed EFH designation for Atlantic salmon includes the rivers, estuaries, and bays that are listed in Table 31 and shown in Map 105, which exhibit the environmental conditions defined in the text descriptions. Smaller tributaries not shown on the map are also EFH for one or more life stage as long as they conform to the proposed habitat descriptions. All EFH river systems form a direct connection to the sea, but EFH would not include portions of rivers above naturally occurring barriers to upstream migration or land-locked lakes and ponds. The oceanic component of EFH is to a distance of three miles from the mouth of each river. The new designation includes six new drainage systems not included in the original list of 26 rivers that were designated in 1998. All of them are in the Maine coastal sub-region (Chandler, Indian, Pleasant, St. George, Medomak, and Pemaquid rivers). All told, 30 river systems in nine New England sub-regions are designated for Atlantic salmon EFH. The new map includes a more continuous series of bays and areas adjacent to river mouths that are within three miles of the coast. Designated EFH in Long Island Sound has been reduced to small areas where the Connecticut and Pawcatuck Rivers empty into the sound, rather than taking up the entire sound. Also, there are a number of improvements in the text descriptions which make the habitat requirements for each life stage more specific and applicable to three separate juvenile life stages (fry, parr, and smolts). Text descriptions: Essential fish habitat for Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar) is designated as the rivers, estuaries, and bays that are listed in Table 31 and shown in Map 105.
