Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Years at Pemaquid: Sketches of Its History and Its Ruins 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 employment elsewhere. They cherish fond memories of happy days passed here. 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 ten 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 Portland, Maine, for valuable aid in compiling this work and for translations of important French documents. 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. Because I love good children I have dedicated this work to them. Cruel fate has deprived me of my own for years, but many others have been my constant companions and true friends. The bright spots and much of the sunshine of my lifetime I owe to them. Scattered along the way from Maine to North Carolina I have found many kind friends who always greet me with a hearty welcome.
