Excerpt from An Address on the Character of the Colony Founded by George Popham
Sympathizing then as I do, with the devoted laborers in historical research, I proceed to examine in a kindly spirit, the objections which have been raised to these anniversary proceedings. There is no reason for doubt as to the location of the Popham Colony. The site of the fort now building, is identical with the Indian Sabine. The objections to the celebration are based on the alleged entire failure of the enterprise, and the moral character of the immediate agents in it. The colony is said to have been composed of men, in the home country, endangered by law and being thus constituted, it had no life in itself, and thence soon ended Without fulfilling any profitable purpose.

Verkäuferbewertung 4 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the history of the 1607 Popham Colony in Maine, challenging the commonly held belief that it was a failed attempt at colonization due to the poor character of the colonists. The author delves into historical accounts to reveal that the colonists were not outlaws or criminals, but rather skilled and determined individuals led by prominent figures such as Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Sir John Popham. The book explores the reasons for the colony's ultimate failure, attributing it to factors beyond the control of the settlers, such as the harsh winter conditions and the untimely deaths of key leaders. Through a comprehensive examination of historical evidence, the author presents a compelling case for reevaluating the legacy of the Popham Colony and its significance in the larger context of American colonization, highlighting the resilience and determination of early settlers in the face of adversity.
