Poquanum selling Nahant to Thomas Dexter for a suit of clothes
Description:
'This image faces the title of 'History of Lynn,' Second Edition (1844) by Alonzo Lewis. This is the inspiration for Nahant's town seal. This encourages my fascination with Nahant's earliest people. Alonzo Lewis was an artist in addition to being a historian and poet. Pictured, from left to right: Thomas Dexter and Poquanum, Sachem of Nahant.'
