Pilgrims saved by trading post on the Kennebec
Prof George F Dow describes how the Kennebec trading post kept Plymouth afloat by supplying goods and enabling debt payments. He notes Allerton's 1627 patent, Dutch wampum influence, and the 1644 clash that led to a fatal confrontation, ending with the post’s transfer to Plymouth in 1688 to avert a planned Indian raid.
