Bits & Pieces from Books, news-clippings, etc.

  • In 1775 there were Abanakis still in place in ancestral locations at Missisquoi, Memphremagog, Cowas and the upper Androscoggin River.
 

Coming from the Missions near Montreal to the western settlements the route was by land or river to Chambly and down the Richelieu (sometimes Chambly, Sorel or Iroquois) River to Lake Champlain; thence by various routes to the Connecticut, seeking always the best hunt. Perhaps the way most used was by Otter Creek and over the hills to Black River and the Connecticut.
