JOHN WINSLOW."
Capt Lithgow's plan, of which no
copy was retained, was sent to Fort
Halifax with instructions and was
lost.
From a recent thorough examination
made of the remains of the founda-
tions Of the fort we are enabled to
restore Lithgows plan, and determine
the alterations in Winslow's plan
recommended by him and adopted by
government.
WinsIow, when he left Fort Halifax,
had constructed the central block
house A, in which the cannon were
mounted, also had commenced the
small block houses for barracks,
marked c, which Col. Lithgow com
pleted. He had also erected eight
hundred feet of pickets with which
they were enclosed, and had erected
block house, or redoubt, on the hill,
which was mentioned by Gov. Shirley
in his speech to the House of Repre-
sentatives. This was the fort which
Col. Lithgow commended for its or
dinaryness." and which he proposed to
alter to square fort. This he accom-
plished in this manner. The barracks,
&, were placed in a line on the south
side of the block house, A, making a
building twenty feet by eighty, with
four rooms, which, with a sufficient
space for a gate way at the southeast
corner, formed the east side of the
fort. The south side was formed by a
palisade from the southeast corner
TO a block house erected by Lithgow.
and now standing, al the southwest
corner. A palisade and the west end
of a building, forty feet by eighty, at
the northwest corner, also erected by
him, together with the north side of
the building and gate way between the
east end and the block house, A,
formed the north and west sides,
which completed the square fort ac-
cording to Lithgow's plan. and which
corresponds with the foundation as
discovered in the recent examination
mentioned Without the plan which
the examiner furnishes, we should not
have been able TO determine the alter
atoms made in Winslow's plan. The
center of the fort by Winslow's plan
became the northeast corner by Lith-
COWS plan and construction.
In examining the remains of Fort
Halifax, Mr.. Paine says he found that
there were three block houses on the
hill east of the fort. He found three
depressions in the sand. and Mrs.
AGED citizen fold MN
that she always understood there We're
three: but this is undoubtedly a mis-
take, as will appear from the following
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1899-08-19

each of the other two angles, agreeable
to the before mentioned plan; and the
committee, viz, Thomas Hancock,
Esq. Doct. Sylvester Gardiner, Mr..
James Bowdoin, Mr.. William Bowdoin,
and Mr.. benjamin Hallowell, are here
by desired to take care that the afore-
mentioned house be built and picquet-
ed in. and the block houses and sentry
boxes built agreeable to this vote. at
the charge of this proprietee.'
Having effected this satisfactory ar
rangement with the Plymouth Com
pany in relation to the new fort. the
Governor. as preliminary To his opera
tions, and at the request of the Com
pany, under date Of Boston. April %,
1854. ordered cant John North to send

Canioas chiefs that he had concluded
to build a fort at Ticonic. 70 which
they strongly objected until they were
shown the deeds by which the Terri
tory had been conveyed from them.
when they gave their consent and
signed a treaty.
The forces were Immediately sent on
the projected enterprise of building the
fort. Five hundred of the troops We're
to ascend the kennebec to reconnoitre
the head waters and great carrying
place. The remainder We're to build
the fort according to the plan and
dimensions given.
Governor Shirley soon followed the
forces to the Kennebec, which he first
assembled to Ticonic and concluded to
erect the fort ION Il fork of land
formed by the kennebec and SebaSti-
cook: the latter emptying into the for
mer about threefourths of a mile
from Taconett Falls" In regard to
this location he remarks: The only
known communication which the
Penobscots have with the River Ken
nebec and the NOrridgewock Indians is
through the Sebastcook, which they
cross within ten miles of Taconott
Falls: and their most commodiOuS

whereabouts. and particularly observe
what timber may be there suitable for
building a fort. If they meet with In
dams they are not to offer any vio-
lence, only III self defence, and are to
press forward"
Previous to this, Capt. Joseph Bane
of York, had been despatched, April
18th. by the Governor with directions
to proceed to the kennebec, and there
ascertain if the French are building "A
fort; to report the result to Capt Lith
gov of Fort Richmond and to APP
proach as near as possible without
hazard; to take special notice of the
land lying near kennebec river be-
tween Cushnoc and Ticonic, and eS
pecially near Ticonc falls. and also
observe the falls: and how far it is
practicable and in what manner, to
carry provisions and other goods from
Cushnoc and Ticonic.
The necessary forces having been
raised and put under the command of
Gen. John Winslow, Governor Shirley
with quorum of his Council and other
functionarieS of government. en-
barled on the 21st Of June, in the
Province frgate Massachusetts, for
Falmouth, now Portland, the place OF
where upon his arrival he
found the commissioners of New
Hampshire with some Penobscot and
fOrty-two Canibas Indians from Nor
ridgewock. The Governor told the

considerations. which will also correct
some other errors into which they
have fallen. Winslow and Shirley said
at the erection Of the fort In 1854 that
"a redoubt was built on the eminence
east OF the fort" This II appears ala
not command the eminence. and Lith-
gov, April 18th. 1855. wrote the gov
ernor that he had got sufficient timber
to build another redoubt thirty-four
feet square, two stories high. cannon
proof. that will command the emf
hence. He also said, II have got tim
Der to build n square fort eighty or
ninety feet with the help Of the small
block houses Gen. Winslow erected. l
propose to join the fort to the large
block house that now contains the
cannon. The pickets that now encom-
pass these buildings are upwards of
500 feet in length
May 18th, 1855, Lithgow again wrote
the governor in relation to the same
redoubt that he had begun it in a
suitable place. thirty-four feet square.
the walls four feet nine inches thick.
two stories high, hip roof, with watch
boxes on the top, to be surrounded
with pickets at proper distances. The
first story he adds, lis raised. This
redoubt will command the eminence.
also the falls and all the cleared land
to the west Of the falls. 1t is also
erected on a high knoll eastward of
the cut path that ascends the eminence,
and two pieces of good cannon should
be in the building to make it well
fortified
Again he wrote, June Sth of the same
year. In a weeks time the redoubt
will be finished. except the flooring
and building the chimney. 1t will be
surrounded by open palisades at
proper distance to prevent the enemy
firing it," and October 20. 1888, he
wrote There are two redoubts to de-
fend" This, in connection with the
declaration of Montresor, an English
officer Of engineers, who was at the
fort in 1860 is decisive of the question.
He said that the fort lis square. its
defence a bad palisade (fianked) by
two block houses, in which there are
some guns mounted. but as the fort is
entirely commanded by n rising
ground behind it, they have been
Obliged to erect two other block
houses. and to clear the woods Tor
some distance around" and the sug-
gestion which Mr.. Paine makes. that
a third block house was erected after
Montresor's visit is wanting in prob
ability. as Quebec had fallen the
autumn previous.
