Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. For those who are desirous of exact knowledge concerning the Story of the Boundary Line, and the political history of Eastport and its vicinity, there is no more comprehensive work than that by William Henry Kilby, Esq., entitled, Eastport and Passa'maquoddy. To him, and also to two friends who gave me the names of a few of the Island flowers, do I express my gratitude. Especially do I desire to make grateful recognition of the courtesy of Prof. William F. Ganong, of Smith College, Mass., who has permitted me to quote from his two monographs, containing the Journal of Admiral Owen, which were published in the Collections of the New Brunswick Historical Society, Vol. I., 1897, and Vol. II., 1899. The original Jour nal is in the possession of Mrs. C. N. Cochrane of Bagshot, Surrey, England, and was copied by her mother, Mrs. Robinson-owen, daughter of Admiral William fitz-william Owen, for Professor Ganong, who has enriched the Journal with copious historical notes. The Journal of David Owen and original papers relating to Admiral William fitz-william Owen are in the possession of Samuel Wells, Esq., of Boston, Mass., President of the Campobello Land Co.
