Biographical History
William Brooks Cabot (1858-1949) was born in New Hampshire, and was educated at the Sheffield Scientific School and Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where he graduated in 1881. After working as an engineer for the Union Pacific Railroad, in Montana and Idaho, Cabot worked in the iron business in Everett, Pa., before becoming a partner in 1895 in the Boston civil engineering firm of Holbrook, Cabot, and Rollins.
After retirement in 1908, Cabot became interested in Indian life in the northern Canadian woods. He described his explorations and experiences in the volume, In Northern Labrador (1912). Cabot also turned his interest to the evolution and use of Indian place names in New England. While nothing of this research was published, he produced a number of collections of photostats reflecting his research into the use of Indian place names.
