About the author
Born in 1906 and deceased in 1994, Carroll F. Daley is documented as the author of After Kamesit: A chronical of a local habitation and some names, with notes, maps and photographs, originally published in Kingston, Massachusetts, in 1974.
That book centers on Plymouth, Massachusetts, especially the South and Boot Ponds area, and traces the region’s landscape, Indigenous history, settlement, and family ownership across generations. The surviving descriptions of the work suggest a writer deeply interested in local history and in the way place, memory, and family stories fit together.
Reliable biographical information about Daley himself appears to be quite limited online, so much of his public legacy is carried by this book rather than by extensive personal records or profiles. No suitable confirmed portrait image was found from the sources reviewed.
