“His son David was the second male born in Lewiston.” Hmmm….pretty sure there were plenty of boys born in what we now call Lewiston before David. What a way for �ֲ��ý to ignore Maine’s indigenous peoples.

In reply to Stephen Mackenzie. My Dad and before him,his Dad owned the building and land that sits,to this day on 6 Frye St.My brother David owns that property now.I believe it is the only home on Frye St.that �ֲ��ý does not own.I believe the trail behind my brothers home that leads to the top of Davis Mountain must be really old and is the only access on the Frye St. side of the mountain.Locals have always called it Davis Mountain like you mentioned.Many of us probably hung out there a bit too much as teenagers.....Thanks for the interesting history and facts about the mountain.I have many stories about growing up with Davis Mountain as my backyard.

Mount David was always known to me by that name as a student, however when I spent 2 summers in Lewiston, one as a Gnome, one as lifeguard at the pool, all my local friends called it Davis mountain. Interesting bit of history here!
