On , his forces captured Mowat and crew from the armed schooner HMS Canceaux, initiating a brief but intense local conflict dubbed Thompson's War, which targeted agents and hesitant merchants to assert patriot authority. The ensuing standoff saw Canceaux threaten to bombard the town, but arriving reinforcements compelled negotiations; Mowat departed on May 15 after demanding (and failing to secure) Thompson's arrest, though his later parole fueled reprisals, including the October 18, 1775, shelling that razed much of Falmouth. Thompson's command extended to countering British naval threats along the Maine coast, including leading inland militia detachments against the 1779 occupation of Bagaduce (modern Castine) by British forces under Brigadier General Francis McLean, actions that preceded the ill-fated aimed at expelling them.

Academia and intellectual pursuits

Philosophy

Samuel Martin Thompson (1901–1983) was an philosopher specializing in the history of , with significant scholarship on and . His early work, A Study of Locke's Theory of Ideas (1934), dissected John Locke's empiricist framework, positing that all complex ideas derive from simple sensory impressions and internal reflection, thereby establishing experience as the primary source of while critiquing innate ideas as unsubstantiated. This analysis privileged observable causal processes over speculative metaphysics, aligning with Locke's rejection of unverified assumptions in favor of evidence-based . Thompson's expertise extended to , whose critiques he interpreted as refining through a priori structures that organize empirical data into coherent . In various publications, he elucidated Kant's categories of understanding—such as and substance—as necessary conditions for interpreting sensory input, enabling synthetic judgments that extend beyond mere observation to universal principles. This perspective integrated empirical content with from foundational axioms, avoiding pure by emphasizing the mind's active role in constituting reality. In The Nature of Philosophy: An Introduction (1961), Thompson outlined philosophy's core as systematic inquiry into being, knowledge, and value, advocating methods that test hypotheses against both logical consistency and experiential evidence. His contributions to Ethics, including "Religion, Nature, and the Autonomy of Law" (1962), applied similar rigor to moral philosophy, defending law's rational basis independent of supernatural claims through analysis of natural causal orders. These efforts positioned Thompson as a proponent of philosophy grounded in verifiable foundations, bridging historical figures like Locke and Kant to contemporary pedagogical needs.

Botany and alternative medicine

Samuel Thomson (1769–1843), a self-taught herbalist from Alstead, , developed Thomsonianism in the early as a system of botanical medicine emphasizing empirical remedies derived from native plants to treat illness without reliance on professional physicians. Thomson's approach stemmed from personal experiences with folk remedies learned from local healers, including Native American practices, and rejected the era's dominant allopathic methods such as and mineral-based purgatives, which he viewed as harmful. Central to his system was the theory that disease resulted from cold and loss of vital heat, countered by "warming" herbs that induced sweating, vomiting, and purging to restore bodily equilibrium. Thomson's comprised numbered preparations from accessible botanicals, with (his "Composition" or No. 1) serving as a primary emetic to cleanse the system, often combined with () for stimulation and (bayberry) for astringency. He advocated steam baths alongside these herbs to enhance detoxification, promoting self-treatment through "Friendly Botanic Societies" where adherents shared knowledge and materials. In 1822, Thomson published New Guide to Health, detailing over 50 remedies and selling "patents" granting users rights to his formulas; by 1840, more than 100,000 such licenses had been distributed, fueling a populist movement that peaked with thousands of practitioners across the U.S. The Thomsonian system encountered opposition from the medical establishment, leading to legal challenges, including a 1809 manslaughter charge after a patient's death from overdose, from which Thomson was acquitted on grounds of lacking formal medical licensure requirements at the time. Proponents patented processes for herb processing, such as of oils, to protect proprietary blends, but courts upheld Thomson's copyrights while regular physicians lobbied for restrictions on uncredentialed practice. Despite criticisms of inconsistent outcomes and risks from potent emetics, Thomsonianism influenced subsequent herbal traditions, including that cultivated and distributed Thomson-inspired remedies like cayenne tinctures into the mid-19th century.

Journalism

Born in , , on August 27, 1810, he immigrated to York (later ), , in September 1833 and initially worked as a printer before entering editorial roles. Thompson began managing the Palladium of British America and Upper Canada Mercantile Advertiser in 1838. In 1839, he co-owned the Toronto Commercial Herald, which he sold shortly thereafter due to its perceived bias toward affiliations. From 1848 to 1853, he edited the Toronto Patriot alongside Ogle Robert Gowan, launching a semi-weekly supplement called the in 1852 to broaden its reach. In 1853, Thompson took over as editor of the British Colonist (also known as the Daily Colonist), expanding its operations until its merger with the Atlas in 1858 after achieving a reported circulation of 30,000 by 1857; he sold his interest that year. He co-founded the Atlas in 1858, which was promptly absorbed into the Colonist. These efforts positioned him as a key figure in Toronto's competitive print landscape, often aligning with conservative and reformist viewpoints. Later, Thompson published the Quebec Weekly Advertiser from 1859 to 1860 and launched Thompson’s Mirror of Parliament in 1860, an early verbatim record of legislative debates akin to the modern . His Quebec operations faltered when he lost a printing amid accusations of slandering French-speaking members of the , contributing to his insolvency around 1860.

Other

Ufology and fringe claims

Samuel Eaton Thompson, a resident of Centralia, Washington, claimed on March 28, 1950, to have encountered extraterrestrial beings from Venus while near Morton in Lewis County. According to Thompson's account, he met a group of humanoid figures who emerged from a landed craft, communicated telepathically about peaceful intentions, and invited him aboard for a brief demonstration of advanced technology before departing. These assertions positioned Thompson as one of the earliest documented "contactees" in post-World War II ufology, predating more publicized cases by figures like George Adamski. Thompson's story gained initial notice through an interview conducted by aviator —known for his 1947 "" sighting—on March 31, 1950, though it received limited media coverage beyond local outlets like The Chronicle in Centralia, which reported it on April 1, 1950. He described the Venusians as benevolent humanoids promoting global harmony, but provided no photographs, artifacts, or physical traces to substantiate the encounter. Subsequent investigations by ufologists yielded no corroborating witnesses or , such as radar data or material samples, rendering the claims unverifiable under scientific scrutiny. The episode reflects broader patterns in mid-20th-century contactee narratives, which often invoked —a later probed by revealing hostile surface conditions incompatible with advanced life as claimed—without falsifiable predictions or testable mechanisms. Thompson's assertions, like those of contemporaries, persisted in fringe literature but failed to withstand , as no reproducible observations or independent validations emerged despite contemporaneous interest in unidentified aerial phenomena. Historians of note such stories as culturally influenced rather than evidenced events, with Thompson's receiving marginal attention even within enthusiast circles until retrospective revivals in local UFO events decades later.
