[GANONG] HISTORIC SITES IN NEW BRUNSWICK 223 



marked also as an " Indian Town " on Titcomb's Tlan of the Scoodik, 1792. 

 The 1837 plan has on a point on the west side of the exit from the lake, 

 "La Coote, an Indian, settled here," and opposite, on the east side, 

 " Clearing made by Indian Newell." There is also a Passamaquoddy 

 village, at Lewis Island, Maine, on what was probably a very ancient 

 camping place. The 1785 map of the Scoodic marks " Indian Wigwams " 

 about halfway between Lewis Island and the main river on the north side, 

 and the Titcomb Plan of 1792 marks it on the south side. 

 D.— Salmon Falls. On the Canadian side, on the site of the Cotton Mill, was an 

 ancient camping place. It was here that Captain Church, in 1704, attacked 

 the Indians and destroyed their store of fish, as he relates fully in his well- 

 known narrative. The 1785 plan of Scoodic marks here "Indian Land." 

 There was a burial ground here. (See the Courier series, CIIL) The 

 Passamaquoddies have at present a small settlement at Calais, certainly 

 very modern. 

 E.— Oak Bay. Near the head of Oak Bay, at Simpson's, on the east side, is an 

 extensive shell heap, indicating a favourite summer camping ground. It is 

 described with others in Baird's "Notes on Aboriginal Shell Mounds." 

 - There is said to be another on the west shore opposite, and another on Oak 

 Point. 

 F.— St. Andrews. From its location, one of the most admirable of all camping 

 sites. It was called by the Passamaquoddies Ku)i-as-ku<am-koo]c. On the 

 Morris Map of St. Andrews of 1784, the point nearest Navy Island, where 

 the C. P. R. wharf now is, is called Indian Point, as it is in some of the 

 boundary documents, and no doubt the main settlement was here. Another 

 name applied to the same point by Mitchel in his Field-Book of 1764 was 

 Lue, meant for Louis, doubtless for Lewis Neptune, an Indian chief, pro- 

 minent in the last century, and who probably lived here. (See Place 

 Nomenclature, p. 267). Some of the boundary documents refer to an 

 important burying-place here ; there was one farther up the harbour where 

 now the block-house is, which has been used by the Indians within the 

 memory of men now living. At present the extreme southern point of the 

 peninsula is called Indian Point, and two or three families of Passamaquod- 

 dies live near the railroad station, though not upon a reservation. 

 G.— Ministers Island. Facing St. Andrew's, south of the bar, is a fine large 



shell-heap, indicating a much used camp-site. 

 H.— Bocabee. On the east side of the entrance of the river is a large shell-heap 

 which has been thoroughly investigated by G. F. Matthew, and described 

 fully by him in the Bulletin of the Natural History Society of New Bruns- 

 wick No. III. (and also reprinted in No. X.). 



Other shell-heaps of some importance occur at many points about Passa- 

 maquoddy Bay. Baird mentions them at east side of Digdeguash river, 

 Green Point (Letete), Frye's Island, Bliss Island, Seely's Cove, Popelogan. 

 There is one also at Joe's Point. But the shell-heaps are innumerable, and 

 of all grades of importance, and a complete list of them would run into many 

 dozens. Other camping-grounds are said to occur at Red Beach, Maine, and 

 at Liberty Point, Robbinston. 

 I.— Indian Point, Magaguadavic, just above Red Rock stream, on the west side. 

 Thus marked on the Campbell and Hedden IMap of 1797 ; it is an intervale 

 point forming the kind of site most liked by them. Allan says in^^his 

 Report in 1793 : " On the river Maggaudavic many make it their home."
