I N D I AN HI S TO R Y ALO N G THE KEN N EB EC .

The story of the Indian in the region of the Kennebec is on e

of f full interest to all citizens o the State of Maine . It is not expected that we shall be able in this short account to mention all the details of the stirring events of the time which elapsed between the date when Indian history in this region begins and ends . Our purpose is to briefly state the story of the leading events of that stirring period . The date to be selected as the starting point is hard to de

f n n i t termine . The Indian tribes east o the Co e t cu river were

a known by the name of Abe n quoi s . But this name came in time to be restricted largely to those Indians who lived along the

Kennebec from Merrymeeting Bay to Moosehead Lake . The

t o s e l li n . name has come have the p g , The Indians ' Abenakis were well disposed toward the whites and made no attempts t o create trouble till after the Plymouth Colonists had carri e d ou t

e their methods of kidnapping and pillaging . As was natural th ir faith and good will was transformed into suspicion and hatred .

From this grew trouble , which at times was very disastrous . 5 6 n s M n W i low, a i e .

The first glimpse of the redman of this valley is obtained in

of v the accounts Captain Gilbert . These are ery meagre but give something of a picture of S e be n oa and hi s tribe as they

wandered through the forest unrestricted and fearless . The next recorded arrival of white men among the Indian s is that of

Edward W inslow an d others of the Plymouth Colony in the fall of 1625 . Three years later a trading post is established at

Cu s hn oc m an (Augusta) , and the white comes more in contact

- with the child of nature . For thirty four years this post was continued as the trading base with the Indians . But during t his

t o time , sorry relate , the English did nothing for the Indians in

r the way of educational o religious training . It remained for the

Fre nch to supply this much needed assistance t o the redman .

W e learn th at in 1643 an Indian wh o had become a Christian

' Iab or s the under the of French missionaries at Sillery or Quebec , came down the Kennebec as far as Cus hn oc and told the Indians there of the majesty and beauty of the new faith . Through this agency there was considerable intercourse between the

s of A Abenakis and the Indian the Northwest . few years after a delegation from the Abenakis appeared at Sillery to beg that a missionary be sent to them on the Kennebec . The result of this appeal was the appointment of the renowned Father Gabriel

D r ui ll e tt e who started on his mi s sion in 1646 . He established 13

successful mission at a point about three miles north of Augusta .

Here he became greatly beneficial to the Indians . He was most eager to participate in all their pursuits , sharing the experiences

’ of the tribe in its winter s hunting in the region of Moosehead 1647 Lake . He went back to Sillery in and did not return until 7 n M i n e . W s l ow, a

1650though the tribe sent a delegation each year requesting his 166 return to them . In 0 he came back and renewed his labor

as among them . This time he came as an envoy as well a mis s i on ar y, and after meeting his old friends and companions at the mission he set o ut for Boston where he met in the capacity of ffi envoy from the Abenakis Indians, the chief o cers of the city

and state .

He was the first Jesuit to enter the streets of Boston . He al s o met the leading officials of the Plymouth Colony, and in all quarters was assured of the good will of the people in behalf of

the Abenakis Indians , in this move for an alliance to protect them from the Iroquois who were very troublesome . But though

Father Dr ui ll e t t e returned to the Kennebec in a very hopeful l frame of mind , his efforts were proven of no va ue as the people of Massachusetts could not be interested in the proposed alliance to such an extent as would be necessary t o carry it to a successful

n e ndi g . The result was that the Abenakis were left to depend

upon their own resources .

Father D r ui ll e tt e returned to the Kennebec in 165 1 after a j ourney of fearful hardship from a long wandering in the forest s in the region of the St . John river, occasioned by having lost

a all trace of the course he w s to follow . He finally reached the settlement at N or r i dg e wock and was welcomed by hi s simple but

sincere followers as an angel from heaven . He spent some few weeks attending to the needs of his mission , and then made another trip t o Boston earnestly beseeching the people of Massa ch us e tt s to join with the Abenakis in defending the region from i n n Ma e . 8 W i s l ow,

D r ui l of . the onslaughts the Iroquois , but to no avail Father lette returned once m ore to his valley miss ion an d passed a l ong dreary winter in performing hi s duties t o his fore st friends . At

of M 1652 . s the beginning arch , , he started for Quebec Thi trip f was to be more fateful than the o n e preceding it . Some o his

D r ui ll e tt e party died of starvation . Father was without food f six days following the fasting season o Lent . They had even to resort to the boiling of their moccasins , and at last to the boiling

’ — — of Father D r ui ll e tt e s gown Camisole which was mad e of

moose skin . All but starved and thoroughly exhausted they

’ r l reached Quebec . This was the last of Father D uil e t te s e x p e r i h ence with the Abenakis . Thoug his work had not preserv e d them politically , he had raised their standards and brought them to a higher plane of living for which they continued to love hi m and cherish his memory . This remarkable man was born in 1593 1679 France in , and died in Quebec in , having passed nearly

forty years in missionary work .

W A M FIRST INDIAN R IN AINE .

of D r ui ll e t t e for After the departure Father , n early a quarter of f a century the history o the Kennebec Indians is a bl ank . The friction between the English and the Abenakis continued to be productive of discord . The English made no effort to better

. n o for the Indian Puritanism had attraction him , but the religious rites of the Catholic faith with its beautiful symbols of those days in the skillful hands of an enthusiastic priest held 9 Ma i n e . W i n s l ow,

their attention and won their faith and love . The Abenakis felt that the taking of Dr ui ll e tt e from them was in some unknown

n way due to the i fluence of the English , and this being so it is plain to be seen that soon the relations between these partie s must become strained .

The ev e nts which led t o the outbreak in Maine were brought on by the Iroquois opening war upon the settlements in th e

f old Valley o the St . Lawrence . There is an tradition that there was fought near the outlet of Moosehead Lak e a terrible battle between the Iroquois and the Abenakis . There is little or no

has proof to support this, but it come down through history as on e of the disasters of this tribe . It is said in this connection that a whole village was massacred save an old chief who was

carried to the west and later tortured t o death .

’ W ith the opening of King Phillip s W ar came a stir among

M of the Indians of aine , especially in the western portion the

State . This led to an uneasiness on the p art of the settlers about the mouth of the Kennebec . From this resulted a parley between the Indians of this valley and other Indians of the state and the

English , in which an agreement was made by the Indians to yield

o up their arms and remain peaceful . This seemed t be a settle

of n ot ment the matter , and undoubtedly would h ave been had

S u an d o q , a Saco chief, interposed obj ections to the treaty , and

refused to be a party t o it . This spoiled the best laid plans . The

Indians were soon seen to be increasingly insolent . Trouble was

i

w out . M imminent . ar broke assacres along the coast were committed in large numbers . Another parley was held with the

a Kennebec Indians, this time at Ticonic . The Indians dem nded 10 j l a i n n s w . Wi o . M e

s n o their arms saying they wi hed part in the war t hen on , but were suffering from lack of food and had no means of procuring

s it without th e ir gun s and powder . The English refused thi

” e “ r quest . This was the last straw with the Indians and they j oined the Androscoggins and other tribes and began pillaging up

and down the valley . This lasted about three years . Then fol

of was lowed a treaty peace which welcomed by the Abenakis, who during the conflict had not been so cruel and barbarous as the Androscoggins and others, thanks to the influence and teach

f r l e I n e ings o Father D ui l e tt . this treaty provisions were mad by the English to protect the Indians of Maine from the tribes of

. was the west But this simply a temporary settlement, a kind of

ra . truce . The two races were natu lly repellant

THE SECOND INDIAN W AR .

The second war in Maine was brought on by the troubles which had been long standing and the new complicatio n s made by the — outbrea k of war between the English and French King W i l

’ ar —i n 6 w liam s W 1 88 . The French used the Indians al ays to

an d i was . further their political ends, th s case no exception The

Indians of the whole State were soon on the warpath and de

struction of life and property was of daily and nightly occurrence .

In the midst of this an event of gre at interest t o the student of

e of Indian history in Maine occurr d . It was the coming Father

Sebastian R as l e to the Kennebec valley to r e - establish a miss ion

of the Cath olic church . The advent of the missionary has always 11 Ma i n . W i n s low, e been held to have been a part of the political plan of t he French t o hold their grasp on the Indians of this valley .

s l R a e came from St . Francis through the woods of the northern

t he part of state to the headwaters of the Kennebec, and reached 5 n 169 . Norridgewock , where he established his missio , in Here he drew the remaining families of the tribes of this section of

- ll the State . He r e Opened the religious work of D r ui e tt e and the history of his mission is the history of the Abenakis tribe from

that time till it left the waters of the Kennebec .

l “ hat e v e r may have been the p art R as l e played i n the conflict w he found in progress e know not . It was probably in behalf of

ar r i v al peace . Soon after his the Kennebec Indians sued for

B om as e e n . on peace , through their chief, , and others Those the Kennebec were willing to see the war close but the French allies

. c r e were not and so the war again broke out New disasters o cu d .

The English blamed B omas e e n and he was taken prisoner and

W at lodged first in Fort illiam Henry Pemaquid , and later at d Boston . The Norri gewocks resumed the warpath . For two 16 9 years the war rag ed . Another treaty was made in 9 . Bom

aseen was released .

This was also simply a truce . W hen Queen Anne was crowned

1 702 . in , she declared war against France This was sure to pro

on duce war the western continent, and in this State as she f asserted her control o Acadia . A conference betw e en the Eng lish and the Indian s of Maine was held because of the warlik e

- . was r e ff premonitions It to a irm the treaty last made , and to

- — preserve peace . It was held at Casco n ow Portland and was

B om as e e n Mox u s s attended by , , and Captain Sam , chief from i n s l w M i 12 W o , a n e .

R as l e as s . Th e a Kennebec . Father w al o in attendance tre ty

. W ar was was signed , but could not be kept in good faith soon on again and though the Abenakis did not j oin as a body som e of their warriors are supposed to have been concerned in the con

i —17 13— for fl ct . The treaty of Utrecht ended the war a time .

The fourth Indian war in Maine is particularly interesting as it was the conflict which ended with the d e ath of Father R as l e at

r i d k N o r g e woc . Though it was due in a general way to the s ame causes as th e other conflicts there were other circumstances con n e ct e d . One of these was that the people of the State and all

New England felt that with the peas e of Utrecht the end of

Indian troubles had come . They were flocking to their former

n e colonial homes . They were taking up w claims granted them by the different companies, and by the S tate . In some cases no doubt they took up land which no on e had given them the right i t o take . This soon led to fr ction between the English and the

s Indians . The English were aware that many of the d eed of the lands which they had bought with a few dollars worth of whiskey and tobacco of the most worthless Indians were really of n o

of . value , were the cases to be tried in a court justice They d however claimed that these deeds given in a runk , perhaps, and by a sagamore who had no tribe at all to represent were abe o l l ut e y binding and that they must enforce them . But they did

’ n ot of s like the Indian s method taking his revenge for wrong ,

was either real or fancied , so it concluded to call a general con ference of the tribes in Maine an d the ofli ci al s of the State t o be

held at Arrowsic in the summ e r of 17 17 .

The Indians came in large numbers and also th e Governor of Ma i n e . 13 W i n s l ow,

the State an d other ofli ci al s . The parley opened very pleasantly but a discussion of the ownership of the land was brought on

and the conference was broken up by the Indians leaving th e

R as l e of council tent . Father was the friend and counsellor the

r e dme n and well did he use the means at hand . The conference

was r e - Opened the following day but an agreement was p r act i cally forced upon the Indians in such terms as the governor was

n pleased to decide upon . From this time o the advance of the

whites was made with confidence . The Indians watched the

of of felling the forests , the building the forts , and the stamped

e a l e ing of their game in sull n silence . R s labored indefatigably

to save t o his people these lands . He interested the people of

a Canada and other tribes . Soon notice w s given at Arrowsic

m s that unless the whites retired fro the lands they had u urped ,

war would be opened upon them . This notice when sent t o

s on of th e r n Bo ton brought prompt action the part gove ment .

Troops were ordered to the scene prepared to punish the rebels .

R as l e was considered by the English to be at the bottom of all ff the trouble . A reward for his capture was o ered . An expedi tion for his capture was organized and started direct for Nor

k was oc . r i dg e w It unsuccessful , but came near being otherwise .

R as l e was in hiding in the forest , but his dwelling was entered

and his library and other belongings, left in his hasty flight , were

burned .

Thi s attempt was viewed by the Indi ans as a full and sufficient

reason for war . All the other tribes felt that this outrag e must be

t o avenged , and prepared do each its part in seeing that j ustice

should be done . Not long after the burning of the Chapel 1 i n l ow Ma i n e . 4 W s , at Nor r i dg e wock the Indians fell upon the settlements and again the woods of the Pine Tree State rang with the whoops of the

of m . savage , mingled with the death cries their victi s The

English decided upon another attempt to capture R as l e . Captain

M a or r i d e oulton , with a picked party , scended the rive r to N g

D l e d . t as wock, but found the village eserted , aware that a reward was offered by the government for his head had taken himself

of and his followers to a safer place . This time no destruction property was attempted . This was the third attempt to take

R as l e e or ither dead alive , the second being only a short time before the on e j ust mentioned .

Mn . e The war continued with dreadful destruction , women l l and children were ki led at a l points i n Maine by the Indians .

m u W hole settle en ts were wiped o t in a single day or night . The

s n ow whole section was terrorized . The Engli h were led t o make a la R as l e nother attempt to s y , whom they considered to blame

M on a c for all this di saster . Captain oult c ompanied by Capt ain

Harmon wit h a goodly company of troops set out once more for

h as advance upon the village . It been handed down that the party crossed the river where the chief had fallen and marched to the high land a mile or two from the river where they could overlook the village and decide upon plans for its de struction .

The forces were divided . Harmon led a company toward a place where it was fancied a camp might b e as a smoke could be seen M winding from the forest . oulton advanced upon the village with the other force .

’

R a l e s . to his vows . s death ended the mission for some years

The larger number of the Indians who survived went to St . i Francis . The war continued about a year after th s incident , but the Abenakis had no part in the conflict after this time . Six

’ years after R a s l e s death the mission was r e - established but only temporarily .

v f Here p r acti call ended the Indian wars o this valley . Other minor conflicts occurred aft e r the above events but were of little importance .

18 i n s l ow Jll a n W , i e . adopted methods which seem to have been well calculated to

of hold for a time the confidence and friendship the redman , but their purpose was identical with that of the English and aimed at the control of the territory of the larger part of the whole

North American Continent . W hile the French were aiming at the subjugation of the Indian by diplom acy and apparent friend

on ship , the English were carrying their old and well known plan o f subjugation by the might of the sword . This policy entrusted

v l to the ad enturers whom they sent to e stab ish their dominion , coupled with the deceit which was frequently practiced upon the Indian served only to make the English the more hated and the

French the more trusted .

This condition led to strife which was d estructive of life and

a property as well as of the advance of civiliz tion . So long as the strife of arms conti nued little or nothing was d o n e for the f W betterment of the region o the Kennebec . hen the fort at W 1754 inslow , Fort Halifax , was built in there was a certain f amount of protection for the settlers o fered , and from this time

there was something done to ward settlement . But previous to this time the history of the sectio n is a story of strife between the Indians an d the English with the complications made by

the French in addition . Briefly the events of most importance following the establishment of a colony at the m outh of the

n 1607 d : Ken ebec by Popham in , as above state , are the following

The grant of territory known as the Plymouth or Kennebec

Grant was made by the Plymouth Coun cil on January 13 ‘ 2 16 9. This grant included all the territory on either side of the

of Kennebec river to the extent fifteen miles from its banks, and l Ma i n e . W i n s ow, 19 extended from the vicinity of Topsham to the W e s s ar un s e tt river at Cornville . Following this grant there was erected a

“ trad ing house up above on ye river in ye most con v e n i e n t e s t

” Cus hn oc place for trade . This was undoubtedly at , or Augusta

‘

n ow . N ot as it is known long after this , some six years , the Plymouth Council became disheartened and surrendered its

a charter to the King of England . Then by v rious acts and grants the King placed this and other territory, which included

i of M practically what is ncluded in the present State aine , under

of wa the control Sir Ferdinando Gorges . His domain s

” “ of M designated as the Province aine . He sent his nephew,

W t a illiam Gorges , as Governor, and this gen lem n established his

on M 2 8 1636 . capitol in Saco , and opened court there arch ,

e x e r As there were no settlements yet on the Kennebec , Gorges ci s e d m no j urisdiction , but the Pilgri Colony made a monopoly of the trade with the Indians . But the trade with the Indian s 1649 became in time so scanty that it was leased in to five parties , W W illiam Bradford , Edward inslow, Thomas Prince , Thomas d VVi ll e tt and W illiam Paddy . The consi eration was a small sum

and the lease was to run three years . This lease was renewed 1661 till when the patent was sold outright to Artemas Boies ,

T n W . Edward y g , Thomas Brattle and John inslow

One of the very first civil actions on the part of the people

on Ma scattered along the Kennebec near its mo uth , occurred y 2 3 1654 , , when sixteen men assembled in compliance with an

order from the General Court of Massachusetts to on e Thomas Prince to “ summon the citizens on the river Kennebec that they

might take an oath of allegiance and arrange a j udicial code . In 20 i n s l ow Jll a i n W , e .

accordance with this order the sixteen men , mentioned above, assembled at the house of on e Thomas Ashley near Merrymeeting

on s “ l Bay the above date , and be ides taking the oath , promu gated f M ’ 7 the first prohibitory law in the State o aine . It provided for f penalties or the selling of liquors to the Indians .

’ W e find that at the outbreak of King Phillip s W ar there were two W Te con n e t men who had trading places at aterville , as it was

M . then called . They were essrs . Clark and Lake In a short time the war assumed such proportions that the Maine Indians took

of part, and a large part the traders about the vicinity of

Arrowsic and at points further up the river were killed . This conflict and those which followed were so destructive that as late as 1749 there were only t wo families left on the river abo ve

1 49 of m n Merrymeeting Bay . In 7 nine the heirs of the e who had bought the rights of the Plymouth Company in 1661 met in Boston and organized and became incorporated in order to obtain their rights to the lands which had been bought by their ancestors ,

1753 and to devise means to Open the territory to settlement . In

of Mas s a h s s the company petitioned Gov . Shirley c us e t t for the

f Te on n erection o a fort at c e t Falls . This was the beginning of the opening up of the whole of the Kennebec Valley to settle

T con n e t he s t r a e i ment . e was regarded as t g t c point by both the

English and the French and by the Indians also who saw i n this new move a thing d angerous to their interests . But their protest was in vain and the fort was erected . General W inslow was in charge of the eight hundred troops who accompanied Governor

Shirley on this expedition . It was he who laid o ut the fort and

of had charge the operations about the scene of the fortification . '

n l o Ma i n . W i s w, e 2 1

It took but a short time for these English t o build five buildings about Fort Halifax . Soon a stockade eight hundred feet in

u length was put p , cannon and rifles were brought up the river in W scows, and a wheel road was cut through from Fort eston at

u hn W C s oc (Augusta) . hen the works were completed Governor Shirley inspected them and very highly complimented General

W w . . inslo and his men Capt Lithgow, who had been in com

of of mand Fort Richmond , was assigned to the command Fort

l of . W e i n Ha ifax , and was given a garrison eighty men are

formed that there was a whale boa t express established between this place and Falmouth (Portland) which made the trip in

f f r o o . twenty hours, a rate speed considered rapid those times After the garrison was established at Fort Halifax it was soon learned that the Indians were determined to m ake trouble if f possible . No man was safe if he ventured beyond the limits o

b . the forti fi cations . Several were mortally wounded y the Indians They continued to make troubl e till the summer of 17 57 when

. d the last skirmish with them occurred It is recor ed that Capt . Lithgow had noticed for a few days that there were rafts drifting

u down the river, and concl ded that the Indians had used them to

cross at some point above and come down in attack on the settle f ment . He sent a party o ten men down the river to give warn f ing o the impending danger . As these men were returning they

i n of were fired upon some ten miles below the fort, the vicinity

of Riverside , and two the party were wounded . They returned the fire and continued the fight with such gallantry that the

on e . Indians fled after had fallen , shot dead , and another wounded

The Indians carried away these t wo o n their backs t o prevent 22 i n l IV s l ow Jfa i n e . ,

on their being taken prisoners . The above skirmish occurred

Ma 18 175 7 s of y , , and was the final hot the redman , as a tribe , in this region .

r i The purpose of t he fort was now e r l z e d . It was the key to t h e of region the Kennebec , and had unlocked the valley to the

axe of the settler . It is of interest to note that the garrison was

was much reduced after a short time , and that the fort dis m antled after the close of the French and Indian W ar in 17 63 .

‘Vhen Arnold passed u p the Kennebec on his expedition to

Quebec the large house within the fort was used as a hotel . It

“ ” was called Fort House . This building was used afterward as w m a d elling house , eeting house , town house and later as a danc i n fi a f r Mr g hall and nally s a home o the poor . A . Thomas tore the building down in 1797 and used some of its timbers in the

H a h construction of the alifax House . C pt . Lit gow remained at d the fort for some time . He was engaged in tra e at this point .

H e was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas for

' n 1 60 I n 1 7 2 Lincol County as early as 7 . 7 he removed to George

a - town where he died i n 1798 at the g e of eighty three .

Ma “ W was Abbott says in his history of ine , inslow incor p or a t e d this year ( 177 1) including the present town of W aterville .

Here was the famous Te con n e t of the Indians ; and i t was on this

t h e S e b as ti point , on neck of land formed by the union of the

cook and the Kennebec, that Fort Halifax was reared . As early

1754 i as , eleven families built their cab ns at this frontier fort in

” VVhi t t e m or e on the wilderness . The Rev . E . C . , in writing this

“ W point , says , Abbott states that eleven families settled in inslow ” 175 4 . W e in , but , if so , they have left neither trace nor name n Ma i n e . W i s l ow, 23 are inclined to believe that there were no permanent settle ments on the banks of the Kennebec at this point till somewhat after

this date .

The fl at land near Fort Halifax was cleared and cultivated i n

17 64 M wh o b ut by orris Fling , built a log , and was the first 1 66 farmer in that vicinity . In 7 the Plymouth Company issued

on a grant of land to several parties several conditions, the most important being that the grantees must have fifty settlers on the

’ land within four years time . At the expiration of the time it

was found th at there were established on the territory the required number of settlers . This was the first endeavor to settle the

of W territory about Ticonic Falls . The present town inslow is

that part of the original town lying east of the Kennebec . This

e town , whos Indian name was Ticonic and whose plantation

was K i n fi e l d s n on e r name g , had the di ti ction of being of the fi st

MILITARY MATTERS .

The town of l Vi n s l ow has a story in history very highly

’ of pictured with the military side life . The town s first comers of an y considerable number were men who bore up on their W i n s low Mai n e . 3 5

shoulders muskets and who were bent upon meas ures Of vast

t f military impor an ce . This was the building O Fort H alifax in

17 54 O f by Governor Shirley under the direction Gen . John W inslow . The structure was located on a fork Of land formed

S e b as ti cook h by the Kennebec and , the latter emptying into t e

- Ta con n e tt former about three fourths Of a mile from Falls . The purpose Of this military move was to command a position

Of suffi cient military importance to impose a check on the Indian s

n of and Fren ch in any Operations o the river . The fort was

: 100 3 2 16 the following dimensions feet long , feet wide and t fee high .

About the fort n ow standing were several other re doubts so m arranged as to present a thorough protection against an ene y .

The fort was named in honor Of the Earl of Halifax, then Sec r e t a r of 17 63 y of state for the Kingdom Great Britain . I n the fort was dismantled .

’ of 1 7 75 At the time Arnolds expedition i n , the large house

d “ ” for t . within the was use as a tavern , Fort House After

i t wards was used as a dwelling house , meeting house , town hall W , where all the earlier to wn meetings Of i n slow were held

for a for a hall public dancing parti es, fin lly a home poor fami

i r lies until t was taken down by M. Thomas and some Of its f 1 97 material used in the construction o the Halifax House in 7 .

a s . Col . Lithgow w engaged in trade at the fort for several years

In 17 60he was appointed Judge O f the Court Of Common Pleas

on for Lincoln county, the first magistrate the Kennebec above

own al b or o . P , and was continued by the American Government 3 6 i n s l w Ma i n . W o , e

e 772 o 1 t . B fore , he retired to Georgetown the Noble farm , ’ r 17 98 which was his wife s inheritan ce , and died the e in at the

- age Of eighty three .

on e com If thing more than another is to be revered , and me m or at e d of , impressed upon the minds the rising generation , that thing is the records of names and deeds of men who faced the dangers Of the battlefield for the welfare and safety of the c f ountry . Time rolls on and we are apt to forget the value o the service rendered by the soldier in war . Each succeeding

. generation is more forgetful Of these things than its predecessor, unless it is ta ught to revere and love the memory Of the d eeds of ' the soldier . It should be in the mind Of each father and each mother to instill into the mind Of the youth the significan ce

“ G ” “ W of the inscriptions, Killed at ettysburg , ounded at

” ” “ 0 on e Vicksburg, Died in Libby Prison , etc . N should lose the Opportunity to impress upon th e generation to whi ch he

belongs and the one which follows , the responsibility which

’ t W was res s upon each man . In the Revolution , inslow s part lh limited as she was scarcely settled . However , er citizens, though sorely pressed for the n ecessities Of life made some small provision for the fulfilling oftheir duty in the struggle for i 17 82 ndependen ce . In Jonah Crosby and two others were

” voted a committee to hire “ tow men to serve t wo years or during the war in the Continental army .

’ t o of On the p the hill not far from the soldier s monument,

’ “ or W : 16 1 - 2 s in General in slow s word s standing east degree ,

” 61 1- 2 r od s fr om l t north Fort Ha ifax, stood an addi ional redoubt i n l w Ma i n e . W s o , 3 7

a a erected to prevent any surprise . It was rmed with twelv e pound howitzer which was fired every m orning by the s oldiers

e m a while they r ained and by the citizens on special occ sion s .

As is mentionedelsewhere the building Of the s e fortific a tions was viewed with a great de al of dis approv al by the India ns

on e we e d a and French . One by , and have mention only a p rt of s s them , these block hou e were destroyed or moved away until today the only on e rem a ining is Fort H a lifax on th e

’ l an e bas ti cook s i s neck of d by the S mouth . It in a remarkably

at s on a n o on e good st e Of preservation , its l nd whose owner

of knows, and stands the last its kind and period in Old New

England on ce so thoroughly dotted with those structures .

The first saw mil l i n W inslow probably had a grist mill for

Th e 17 7 0 the same roof . mills were built before and , in the f Mr . . o Opinion Of . E A Paine , at the expe nse the Kennebec

farmer, trader, lumberman an d speculator , and a representative

on to the general court . The next mill this stream was situated about twenty rods above and was owned by the Norcross family ,

who probably built it . David Garland , who worked in it in

To . manufactory . the latter business Charles A Priest turned

the cutting Of these wooden nails for years . His trade extended

to Liverpool , England , where one firm took barrels of

The town of W inslow while not a s eat of learn ing contain i n n of w g institutio s higher education , has done her part to ard

of for preparing the youth the town their future work . In common with so many other towns he r efforts h ave been di r e cte d in behalf of her com mon schools t hroughout the greater

of of he r . part her history , for only recent date is high school

W e cannot do better than to ca s t a gla n ce toward the t ypical M common school as known in aine in the early days . Even as

ou r m a of t a c soon as forefathers , al ost invari bly Puritan ex r tion had located themselves in the fore s ts of the Pine Tree State an d ff of s r o began their e orts erecting churche , they made p

n m * vi s io for the common school . They in co mon with us of to

a ou r day considered educ tion the bulwark Of institution s , the institutions for the establishment of which they had fought an d

e ho bled . They knew therefore bett r than we w much depended

of upon the proper guidance the newly established gove rnmen t .

They saw their liberties and property, we had almost s aid wrapt up in the future of the ne w governme n t which

W ashington had said was “ on e today and thirteen tomorrow:

I s it a strange thing that these people who so well understood

o f t n the significance hese tryi g years, should so thoroughly grasp the fact that in the education of the masses lay

of $ N O s a w their only hope ultimate success , they well

as e t o their duty and pioneers pr pared meet it . A room Ma i n e . 5 3 W i n s low,

in the little l og cabin became the university of the wilder

e s an d ef n s humble as was this first fort, mighty results

e ou t - cam from it . From of these rough , low roofed structures walked men who were yet to meet the representatives of th e of courts Europe , in the battlefield , in diplomacy, and in

of scores other capacities from which they emerged unscathed .

Thi s system of education went on till it almost became a n ecessary

’ th ing for a m an to reach the presi dent s chair that he be able

” to pre s ent a career begun in “ The Little Red Schoolhouse in

wa the backwoods hamlet . It s n ot that the people loved wealth and culture the less , but they loved the more the homely vir

of tues inspired by the healthy atmosphere the country . An d as we look back today over the progress of ou r school system

d We ll o we with pride up n the record it has made . But thi s system like al l others was expected t o advance and it has ad

n of ha v a ce d . The town W inslow s in common with other towns reared the homely structures on the hillsides and at the

10 t o 15 cross roads, hired male teachers at $ $ a month , the female teachers at 7 5 ce nts t o a week and this with the

” “ So Board Round provision . far as we know the first effort

ad W M 17 87 m e by inslow as a town was in arch , , when it was

t o voted allow Capt . Zimri Haywood four pounds , eight shil lings and s i x pence for p ayi n g and boa rding a schoolmaster

. one month For three years after this n o money was voted . 1791 In fifty pounds was voted to support schools . At this

of time many the leading citizens supported private schools .

One Abij ah Smith is record ed as on e of the pri v ate teacher s 54 i w n s l M i n e . W o , a

He it was who wrote the early records of W aterville and they

l n efforts have been steady an d success fu . W inslow has ever been favored with in stitution s of higher learning like W ater

r v ille , but the inte ests of the two towns have been closely allied and W i n l w has been the recipient of large benefits from the
