Paperback. Etat : 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.
