During these years he produced an Abanaki-French dictionary. He was hated and feared by the English settlers of the Province of Maine who considered him an agent of France and an instigator of Indian rebellion.</p><p>Poet's note: After reading the history of Sebastion Rales, I wrote the first version of Thirteen Moons in the late 1970s. I self-printed a few copies and gave them around. They seemed popular, so I revised a version and submitted it to publishers in Canada, hoping for a French translation and a Native version. They did an attractive English, French version in Toronto but no Native American translation. It was soon was out of print. So I did another locally. <br /> David Francis, a Passamaquoddy, contacted me and asked if he could do a translation in his language. We did the three language version edition, with some hard-bound copies. Unfortunately, David Francis, a WWII veteran, died in 2017, but his work should be noted and appreciated in this edition.</p><p> </p>
