Sinopsis
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.

Excerpt from An Address on the Character of the Colony Founded by George Popham
The commemoration at Fort Popham in 1862 has called forth from the public press some severe criticisms on the moral character of the Sagadahock colonists of 1607. These strictures, it is believed by the committee of arrangements for this celebration, have no foundation in history; and I have been requested to devote this hour to their examination. It is strange that an occasion so full of historic mementoes, and which awakened the sympathies of so large a concourse of worthy and intelligent men, should have been seized upon for the purpose of calumniating that little band. They had abandoned all the genial associations of home life, exposed themselves to hazards, over the wide ocean, of which but few of them had any experience, for the acknowledged noble purpose of enlarging the area of civilization, planting the Christian religion, and opening the way for a more extensive commerce, with little to cheer them but the hope of success, and a confidence in the watchful care of a beneficent Providence.

Paperback. Condición: 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. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
