SALISBURY BEACH, Aug. 1869
HISTORY OF THE PLACE.

HISTORY OF THE PLACE.
This pleasure resort is not far famed. Most
Of the visitors are from the surrounding vii
lagos sofNewburyport, Amesbury and Haverhill
About fifty private houses are owned by citi-
zens of the above named places; also the same
number by landlords who rent them by the
week to transient sojourners These houses
generally pay for themselves in one year. The
approach to this place is by plank road built
to avoid the shifting sands Of the beach. The
chief attraction is the hard beach, over which,
when the tide is down, one can ride several
miles and hardly see the imprint of the horses
feet This early attracted the notice of the
Indians, who, in the time of the green corn,
held their famous green corn dances on the
beach. This was festival in which most all
of the tribes this side OF Canada were repre-
sented.
THE PALE FACE" ADOPTS AN INDIAN CUSTOM
When the Indians retired the whites, who
wanted some relaxation from the toll of the
farm, workshops and the sea, devoted one day
to a festival, which as holiday attracted num-
bers from the thinly settled regions, who as
sembled, partook of some choice viands and
then retired to cool hooks to talk over the
news Of the year.
