Excerpt from Portland and Vicinity
One can imagine the delight, when this land was new and clothed with R the glamour of surprise, of sailing from the surges of the Atlantic into the sheltered roadsteads of this bay, along the green shores of its forest-crowned islands and out-reaching peninsulas, far into the heart of the land, where the placid waters reflected in their cool depths the verdant foliage which over hung them, in the silence and seclusion of a solitude unbroken save by the songs of birds of varied plumage flitting through the forest primeval. No element of beauty was wanting to this miniature archipelago, and the native inhabitants, who had an eye for sunny spots and grassy glades, made it a place of frequent resort. They found in its waters an inexhaustible supply of provisions, and the evidences of their feasts still remain in the heaps of clam-shells found on the shores of the islands.
