The Name kearsarge.

Among the names which have bafIled
the rtymnlugist, is that Of the mountain
in New Hampshire Carroll county,,
which furnished the name for the
corvette of the United States navy
which sunk the Confederate cruiser
Alabama. The mountain is named
"E lrsargo." and its name is currently
supposed t" be of purely Indian origin.
If it's origin is Indian, it must be re-
mcmbercd that the Indian families
which We're peculiar to certain localf-
ties had dialects peculiar to them
selves. and it is not always safe t"
translate the name Of one locality by
the key Of another dialect. The In
dams occupying the section Of country
where Mount Kcarslrge is situated
were the PcQuaket tribe of the Abnaki
division of the Indian families. These
Indians occupied the territory between
the headwaterS of the Kennebec and
Lake Champlain, including the country
where the rivers AndroScoggin, Saco
and PresumpscOt have their rise.
1t is n well-known fact that the In
dams named the entire White Noun
tain system, 'Waumbek Methna.' in
the dialect. and "Agiocochook." in
another meaning "The mountains with
snowy foreheads" Old Indians names
have been we'll preserved where they
have existed. and if the Carroll county
mountain had been given an Indian
name il would have been preserved.
because the thoroughfare around its
base became early known to the set
tiers. for. as SanbOrn says in his His
tory of New HAMPSHIRE "the In
dams. were undoubtedly familiar with
all the gorges and defieS which divide
the White Mountains. and the far
famed Notch was probably threaded by
them as they led their weeping captives
from the early settlements OF New
HAMPSHIRE to Canada"
That the French discoveries early
became acquainted with this route is
evident. for Lescarbot in his history of
New France. published almost three
hundred years ago, describes Jacques
Carriers voyage up the st. Lawrence
in 1888. and contains n map on which
the White Mountains. and even kear-
sarge. are actually shown, an evidence
| that some of the voyagers must have
| Travelled into the wilderness at some
| time either before or at that time.
1t does not seem strange that the
| French map-makers indicated Rear
sarge on their maps. in spite of the
fact that it is Over-topped by many
other mountains in the chain. for this
mountain was in measure the gate
