Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 22: Containing the Baxter Manuscripts

This volume, the twenty-second Documentary series of the Society, will be followed by a collection of interesting documents relating to the Indians of Maine, transcribed for me by Rev. Henry O. Thayer with painstaking accuracy, like all of Mr. Thayer's excellent work. They would have appeared some time ago had I not been averse to interrupting the history of Maine's activities in the war of the Revolution before reaching a point far enough beyond its close to give students knowledge of the difficulties with which the people of Maine had to struggle to enable them to establish within its borders a somewhat orderly condition of affairs. I hope that from the point where this volume ends the work may be continued to the separation of Maine from Massachusetts.
