Francis Small: The Great Landholder of Maine | Colonial America History Short Film

Mist drifts across the Ossipee River, carrying the story of Francis Small — trader, survivor, and the great landholder of colonial Maine. This short historical film, written and narrated by John F.K. Small, author of 'The Small Family Legacy': A Journey of Ingenuity, Sea and Story, tells the true story of Francis Small (1625–1713) — from his Devonshire beginnings to his life on the Maine frontier and final years in Truro, Massachusetts. Learn about the Ossipee Tract, one of the largest early land grants in Maine history — a deed signed between Francis Small and Chief Wesumbe (Captain Sandy) of the Newichawannock Abenaki, marked by the sign of the turtle in 1668. That legacy shaped the founding of towns such as Cornish, Newfield, Limington, Limerick, Shapleigh, and Parsonsfield. 🎙️ Written, narrated, and produced by John F.K. Small 📖 Based on the book The Small Family Legacy: A Journey of Ingenuity, Sea and Story 👉 Read the full story here: https://www.amazon.com/stores/John-F.... #FrancisSmall #MaineHistory #ColonialAmerica #NewEnglandHistory #OssipeeTract #JohnFKSmall #HistoricalShortFilm #Genealogy #TheSmallFamilyLegacy #TruroMassachusetts #MaineHeritage #EarlyAmericanSettlers
