Excerpt from A Study in the Etymology of the Indian Place Name: Missisquoi The water-ways being then the highways Of travel, and fish and game being in abundance thereabouts, it is fair to presume that this portion Of the country must have been a place Of very general resort. TO one tribe it might have been known as 'the great hunting place, because Of the abundance Of deer, moose, bear and other game in the forests; to another as the 'great fishing place, - big fishing place, ' - because Of the abundance Of fish in the lake; to another as a place Of much water-fowl, - as records prove their abun dance in these waters before the country was settled; to another as the place Of the big or great marsh or marshes, - much miry place, - the place Of much grass or willows to another as a place Of many and big rocks and boulders; and others may have bestowed names founded upon some fancied resemblance discov ered in the Shore line Of the lake, in the topography Of the country, or in the contour Of some rocky blufi, as is distinctly traced in The Old Man Of the Mountain in the White Mountains Of New Hampshire.
