Keywords: A Christianized Abenaki Indian by birth, the Sabattis name is a corruption of the adopted French surname Saint Baptiste. He and his family had moved from Newcomb and settled in Long Lake where he continued to be the most trusted and sought after sportman's wilderness guide, and became one of the settlement's prominent leaders. Early Adirondack historians credit him with having great influence in the design and crafting of the first Adirondack guideboats. A mountain east of Long Lake now bears his name, as does a small settlement to the west. * Adirondack Museum Archives Photo A Christianized Abenaki Indian by birth, the Sabattis name is a corruption of the adopted French surname Saint Baptiste.
