This Maine veteran was “hands down” the youngest of all Pine Tree Staters to have done service or become embroiled in the Civil War, being at the time age ten. However, he accompanied his father during the elder Powell’s service during the Mexican War, at age five!
Enough ancestral data and eventual legendary fragments have survived via family tradition, oral and written, to sketch in a fairly credible background for our Jimmy Powell. Today, some three or four generations since are in basic agreement about the James E. Powells I and II.
To tell a complete story, a little background regarding his father, James I, needs to be given.
Some people take creativity and run with it. Quietly.
The photo is real. It was dubbed ‘Seen Walking the Shores of Lake Moxie, The Forks Plantation, Maine. The photo was taken by someone who has a camp nearby and requests anonymity. Okay. Let’s call her, or him. Bee. And his or her spouse Tee. Bee and Tee were ‘up ta camp’ a few weekends ago and noticed something new this spring. So out comes the phone, and click.

Sure, the photo is real. But Big Foot ‘might’ not be. Out in a pretty remote part of our state, someone, not Tee and Bee, decided on a very creative project that not a lot of people will see in person. All it takes is a sheet of plywood and some vision. And oh yeah, a saw. I m not a wood worker, what kind of saw does one use for this project. And you ll need some paint. Someone has crafted a Big Foot and strategically placed it in a place where, well, Big Foot might indeed be walking.
