Indigenous name

I added two citations explaining the etymology of the indigenous name of Lake Attitash, but they were removed by a contributor stating the links were dead. I tested them again and the links are functioning well. I reverted the edit with the cited information and added pages in the linked books to the relevant quotations. "The large pond in Amesbury known as Great Pond and for a long time subsequently as Kimball's Pond is now called Lake Attitash, which is said to have been its ancient Indian name. Dr. Douglas-Lithgow states the word means "a huckleberry." - Perley, Indian Land Titles of Essex County "Attitash Lake, near Amesbury; -- "a huckleberry" - Douglas-Lithgow, Dictionary of American-Indian Place Names
