Siebert was a pathologist, self-taught linguist and collector of books on North American Indians and the American frontier. He was dedicated to preserving the Penobscot language. After retiring as a medical doctor in the 1970?s, he moved to Old Town to pursue his interest in researching the Penobscot language. Though he had no formal training, he attended linguistic courses at Columbia and Yale and published research which expanded scholarly knowledge of the Algonquian language."
