| | Description of Saugus (Sandwich) Massachusetts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | The following description of ancient Saugus and Nahant is extracted from "Nevv Englands Prospect," written this year by William Wood of Lynn, and which he says was undertaken, "because there hath been many scandalous and false reports past upon the country, even from the sulphurous breath of every base ballad monger." |
 | | This Towne is pleasant for situation, seated in the bottom of a Bay, which is made on one side with the surrounding shore, and on the other with a long, sandy Beach. |
 | | One Blacke William, an Indian Duke, out of his generosity, gave this place in generall to this plantation of Saugus, so that no other can appropriate it to himselfe. |
