The Indians early found Wessagusset, as they called it, an important rendezvous, as it was accessible by land and sea, and there were probably temporary camps there previous to 1620, formed by fishermen and traders who visited the New England coast to traffic with the natives. THE INDIANS EARLY FOUND WESSE AGUST AS THEY CALLED IT AN IMPORTANT RENDEZVOUS AS IT WAS ACCESSIBLE BY LAND AND SEA AND THERE WERE PROBABLY TEMPORARY CAMPS THERE PREVIOUS TO SIXTEEN TWENTY FORMED BY FISHERMEN AND TRADERS WHO VISITED THE NEW ENGLAND COAST TO TRAFFIC WITH THE NATIVES
iles there is nothing--no ugly building large or small, no ruthless invasion of modernity to mar the mood of happy simplicity. Her beauty of beach, of sky, of river, Weymouth shares with other South Shore towns. Her perfection of idyllic rusticity is hers alone. Just as Weymouth's scenery is unlike that of her neighbors, so her history projects itself from an entirely different angle from theirs. While they were conceived by zealous, God-fearing men and women honestly seeking to establish homes in a new country, Weymouth was inadvertently born through the misconduct of a set of adventurers. Not every one who came to America in those significant early years came impelled by lofty motives. There were scapegraces, bad boys, rogues, mercenaries, and schemers; and perhaps it is entirely logical that the winning natural loveliness of this place should have lured to her men who were not of the caliber to face more exposed, less fertile sections, and men to whom beauty made an especial appeal.
