THE ALLAGASH, Lew Dietz, c. 1968, pg. 189, 190
"....The first settlers pushed up the St. John from the Maritime Provinces, seeking land and a new life. English, Scotch-Irish, Irish, they chose the spot where the tumbling Allagash River joined the St. John and formed a tight little English-speaking island in the land of the Acadian French. ......At the front lines on the rivers were Allagash men, the Gardners, Moores, Kelleys, McBreairtys, Walkers, Haffords, Jacksons.
