ter, Avlio were living at tlie elose of the 

 Black Hawk war in 1S.)2. Nasheakusk 

 did not bear a conspicuous part in the 

 Indian history of the N. W., being of 

 note chietly from his association with his 

 famous father. He was born probably 

 about the close of the 18th century. He 

 remained with and followed the fortunes 

 of his father not only during the war of 

 1832, but also during his captivitj', and 

 seems also to have lived with his father's 

 family until the latter' s death, Oct. 3, 

 1838, subsequently remaining with his 

 mother for some years, probably until 

 her death, Aug. 29, lcS46. Nasheakusk 

 and his brother made complaint to Gov. 

 Lucas of Iowa when their father's grave 

 was desecrated, which resulted in the re- 

 covery of the bones. The time of ins

death is not given. A portrait, painted 

 by Samuel M. Brookes while Nasheakusk 

 and his father were prisoners of war at 

 Fortress Monroe, Va., is in possession of 

 the Historical Society of Wisconsin (see 

 illustration). (c. t. ) 



Nashobah. A former village of Chris- 

 tian Indians in the Nii)muc country, near 

 Magog pond, in Littletcm, Mass. Of it 

 John Eliot wrote in 1670: "This place 

 lying in the road-way which the Mau- 

 quaogs [Mohawk] haunted, was much mo- 

 lested by them, and was one year wholly 

 deserted, but this year the peojjle have 

 taken courage, and dwell upon it again." 

 In 1675 the inhabitants, numl)ering al)out 

 50, were removed to Concord, Mass., on 

 account of King Philip's war.

Nashua ( ' the land between' ). A tribe 

 formerly living on upi)er Nashua r., in 

 Worcester co., Mass., said by some to 

 have been connected with the Massa- 

 chuset, but classed by Potter with the 

 Pennacook. They had a viilage called 

 Nashua near the present Leominster, but 

 their principal village seems to have Ijeen 

 Weshacum, a few miles farther s. The 

 Nashua tract extended for several miles 

 in every direction around Lancaster. On 

 the outbreak of King Philip's war, in 

 1675, they joined the hostile Indians, and, 

 nunil)ering several hundred, attempted to 

 esra]>e at his death in two bodies to the 

 E. and w. Both parties were pursued and 

 a large number were killed andcai)tured, 

 the i)risoners being afterward sold into 

 slavery. A few who escaped eastward 

 joined the Pennacook, while about 200 of 

 the others crossed the Hudson to the Ma- 

 hican or the Munsee, and ceased to exist 

 as a separate tribe. A few still remained 

 near their old homes in 1701. (j. m.)
