Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sprague's Journal of Maine History, 1915, Vol. 2
It is said that he was a member of General Bastide's household, and was under his instruction while in the Provinces and on the high seas for a period of about five years. Much wonderment has been expressed and speculation made as to where Mr. Carleton's knowledge of engineering and navigation was acquired, but being the apt scholar that he was, and the long service with General Bastide, seems a sufficient explanation.
