On my way up north, I drove past this wood carving on a post at a crossroads. Next to it was the historic marker you see below. It’s a tribute to Metallak, a Native American who was the last of a band of Abnaki who lived in the area. He was a hunter, trapper, fisherman, and guide who reportedly died in 1847 at age 120 years.

so fascinating!!
Thank you. Have a great day.
Very interesting! Thanks for posting!
My pleasure. Thank you, Ashley.
Chris, the little part badge, at the top of the photo intrigued me, so I looked it up! A really attractive badge for your State. I know nothing of them so I might just check out a few more!
Thank you. Yes, I like it also. Some of the state badges are really pretty. I like tat they have this in color on the sign.
You have been finding some amazing gems!
Literally, I was on a side road that Google Maps directed me to and passed this. I went back to get the photo.
At least Google Maps didn’t send you to a dead end or stop transmitting LOL
Very nice 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, Dulcy
What a strange destiny. There are lives that deserve to be better known, they give some benchmarks to our own. Thanks for reporting it.
Thank you for your comment. I tend to agree with you.
Interesting! You are indeed a person who looks at things so detailedly.
Sometimes I’m good at finding these things but other times, i drive right past them.
Interesting!
Defintiely. The things you find on side roads.
wow, he lived for 120 years… that is a very interesting.. and a very interesting piece of metal art as well..
It was a cool find. I was impressed someone did this and placed it , Mich.so prominently at this crowwroads. Have a great day, Mich.
Amazing! I like your travels.
Have a lovely day, Chris.

Thank you, Sandra. It’s off to a good start. I hope it’s the same there.
Same here Chris! Let’s keep it going. Take good care
What a great story!
Thank you. I was surprised to find this. You see a lot of the historic signs in our state but not statues like that.
We discover the unexpected when we travel~♥~great one
Thank you. That is what makes travel fun.
That’s a wonderful wood carving! I bet something similar would look nice in your garden too. 😉
