Escumbuit Assacambuit. Nescambious. Nescambiouit. Nessegombowit. Their Mark. 

Maliseet (Wəlastəkwewiyik), Abenaki (1660-1727). War Chief and diplomatic leader. Led raids on English colonizers across and beyond the areas today called “New Hampshire,”  “Maine” and “Canada” and in raids on present-day “Andover” and “Haverhill, Massachusetts.” Allied with the French through King Wiliam’s (beginning 1688) and Queen Anne’s (beginning 1702) Wars. As part of French efforts to forge a continued alliance w/ the Abenaki, Nessegombowit was knighted by Louis XIV of France, at Versailles, in 1706.

Their mark appears here on a document, signed July 21, 1693, between “the English and Indians.” at Pemaquid. The document outlines the terms of a 20-day truce between the two parties, including a “cessation of arms,” an exchange of captives and a reconvening of parties in 20 days time. 

Seen at the Massachusetts State Archives.

Today is Maine Open Lighthouse Day! Go visit your favorite lighthouse. There's 66 in the state, but only 16 are open to the public today, most from 9-3. Including this one, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, in Bristol. It's one New England's most photographed lighthouses. The January 2024 storms severely damaged the bell house, but as of this month, it's been fully restored. Go check it out if you're in the area. Here's a LIST OF ALL PARTICIPATING LIGHTHOUSES
