Excerpt: ... notes concerning ancient augusta at small point. contributed by rev. henry O. thayer. In my note-book of past historical studies of the Sagadahoc region, I find materials which will extend somewhat the history of Small Point and its stone fort.

For in 1718, April 23, the Company granted him three hundred acres in Augusta township, in consideration of his expenses and loss in settling the town.1 Possibly the erection of the stone fort was one large item in the expenditure. Also 1719, November, the Company voted: --"If Mr. Noyes shall gain from the sea by a dam a pond near his house at Harbor Farm on Atkins' Bay, the land shall be his." I am not assured of the location of this farm, but Noyes had a stone house which stood on the westerly margin of Atkins' Bay over against Po...

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
