'Death of Father Sebastian Rale,' 1856

Father Rasles, the Indians and the English

Father Sebastien Rale, a French Jesuit, ran a mission for Indians at Norridgewock and, many English settlers believed, encouraged Indian resistance to English settlement. He was killed in a raid on the mission in 1724 that resulted in the remaining Indians fleeing for Canada.
