Baxter James P. The Abnakis and Their Ethnic Relations

Read before the Maine Historical Society, March 27, 1890. — Brown Thurston Company, 1890. — 30 p."The origin and history of the Pre-Columbian inhabitants of America possess for the student of Anthropology an ever increasing interest. Not only is the attention attracted at every turn by constantly accumulating collections of the archaic belongings of the peoples who once occupied this vast continent; but the facilities presented him for exploration are such, that he may with a minimum expenditure of physical and pecuniary capital, personally study the most interesting remains, which a decade past could be reached only by exhausting and dangerous adventure."
