View Family "Epidemics: a Story of Loss"
UMaine Wabanaki Studies, Text

With European's arrival, Maine native people's social and economic structure and identity was fundamentally destroyed. Disease, combined with the fur trade with its introduction of guns and alcohol and the increasing number of Europeans clearing and farming the land, brought devastating changes to the Wabanaki.

Map # 52. Androscoggin and Kennebec Rivers
Maine Historical Society, Map

This is an early map of the area commissioned by the Pejepscot Company circa 1720. Scale [1:316,800] 1 inch = 5 miles. Surveyors commissioned to lay out the plots of land for the Pejepscot company often had to do their work in the middle of winter to avoid confrontations with Native Americans. During this period three Indian wars were fought; Lovewell's War, 1722-1726, King George's War, 1744-1748; and the French and Indian War, 1754-1759.

Brunswick and Topsham, Map #12
Maine Historical Society, Still Image

This is one of a collection of maps surveyed for the Pejepscot Proprietors to show boundaries and land ownership in the areas of what are now known as Brunswick and Topsham, Maine. Scale [1:35,640] 4.5 furlongs = 1 inch. During the years of the Pejepscot proprietors' efforts to settle their holdings, three of the Indian wars were fought: the fourth or Lovewell's War, 1722-1726; the fifth or King George's War, 1744-1748; the sixth or French and Indian War, 1754-1759. These conflicts delayed settlement of the Pejepscot Company's land, and their history is reflected in the documents in this collection.
