Massabesic Jones by Bird Friend
"Straddling Manchester’s eastern border with Auburn, Lake Massabesic is a natural treasure: more than four square miles of placid freshwater lake, wetlands and mixed forests a world away from the hustle and bustle of New Hampshire’s largest metropolis...
The lake is the setting of many local legends and rumors. It is said that Passaconaway, legendary figure of the early colonial era, died here in the late 1660s. The old man, knowing his death was near, rowed his canoe out into the center of the lake, where he was struck by lightning and immediately vaporized."
