For the Maine towns particular reference may be made to Cyrus Eaton’s _Thomaston, Rockland, and South Thomaston_ (1863), vol. i.; E. E. Bourne’s _Wells and Kennebunk_; Cushman’s _Ancient Sheepscot and Newcastle_; Willis’s _Portland_ (2d ed.); Folsom’s _Saco and Biddeford_; Eaton’s _Warren_ (2d ed.), which gives a map, marking the sites of the forts about the Georges River; Johnston’s _Bristol, Bremen, and Pemaquid_, which gives a map of the Damariscotta River and the Pemaquid region, with the settlements of 1751; R. K. Sewall’s _Ancient Dominions of Maine_; James W. North’s _Augusta_; G. A. and H. W. Wheeler’s _Brunswick, Topsham, and Harpswell, including the ancient territory known as Pejepscot, Boston_, 1878 (ch. iv. and xxiii.). See the present _History_ (Vol. III. p. 365) for notes on the local history of Maine, and (Ibid., p. 364) for references to the general historians,—Sullivan, whose want of perspicuousness Grahame (i. 253) complains of, and Williamson. At the present Brunswick (Maine), Fort Andros had been built in 1688, and had been demolished in 1694. Capt. John Gyles erected there in August, 1715, a post which was called Fort George. Ruins of it were noticeable at the beginning of this century. There is a sketch of it in Wheeler’s _Brunswick, Topsham, and Harpswell_, pp. 624, 629. The fort at St. Georges (Thomaston, Me.) had been built originally in 1719-20, to protect the Waldo patent; it was improved in 1740, and again in 1752 was considerably strengthened. (Williamson, i. 287.) At Pemaquid, on the spot where Andros had established a post, Phips had built Fort William Henry in 1692, which had been surrendered by Chubb in 1696. It is described in Dummer’s _Defence of the New England Charters_, p. 31; Mather’s _Magnalia_, book viii. p. 81. In 1729 Col. David Dunbar erected a stone fort, perhaps on the same foundations, which was called Fort Frederick. There is a plan of the latter post in Johnston’s _Bristol, Bremen, and Pemaquid_, pp. 216, 264. Cf. Eaton’s _Warren_, 2d ed. Further down the Kennebec River and opposite the upper end of Swan Island stood Fort Richmond, which had been built by the Massachusetts people about 1723. Near the present Augusta the Plymouth Company founded Forts Shirley and Western in 1754. There are plans and views of them in J. W. North’s _Augusta_, pp. 47-49. Cf. Nathan Weston’s _Oration at the Centennial Celebration of the Erection of Fort Western, July 4, 1854_, Augusta, 1854.
