Flag of St. Francis/Sokoki Band of Abenaki
He is an Abnaki of Agamenticus, Me., forming a curious figure in New England tradition. He is said to have been born toward the end of the 16th century and converted to Christianity, to have preached it to the Indians, traveled much, and died among his own people at the age of about 100 years. Up to 1775-76 Aspenquid’s day was celebrated in Halifax, Nova Scotia, by a clam dinner. He is said to be buried on the slope of Mt Agamenticus, where he is reported to have appeared in 1682. He is thought by some to be identical with Passaconaway. In Drake s New England Legends there is a poem, “St Aspenquid,” by John Albee. See Am. Notes and Queries, n, 1889. (A. F. C.)
