[2] Page 1--_Indian Place Names of New England_, compiled by John C. Haden, New York, Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, 1962, p. 73, refers to Kamesset Point, Dukes County, Massachusetts, Wampanoag, “at the place of great fish,” also given as “pine place.” Two octogenarians in Plymouth were familiar with the word. One from Duxbury thought it meant “west wind.” There was a club on Lord’s Point on South Pond known as the Kamesit Club during the 1890’s. John Eliot, the apostle to the Indians, does not have the name in his dictionary. CHAPTER I. THE FACE OF THE LAND AND GROWING THINGS [3] Page 5--_Plymouth Memories of an Octogenarian_, p. 514.
