Excerpt from Documentary History of the State of Maine, Vol. 23: Containing the Baxter ManuscriptsN my studies of the early history of Maine, it became evident to me that a documentary volume devoted to the native tribes of Maine, With Whom the European settlers so often came in con¿ict, would be of use to students of history. In previous volumes I have published from time to time such documents relating to this subject as my former employee, Mr. David Pulsifer, transcribed for me. After his death I could not procure a satisfactory person to take his place until the Rev. Henry 0. Thayer, Who knew of the difficulty Which I was experiencing, kindly offered to transcribe the Indian documents for me. This volume contains a part of Mr. Thayer's painstaking work, and the next volume will com plete it. James phinney baxter.
