Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book invites you to journey to the region of Sainte-Castin, a land steeped in myth and legend. As one of the first European explorers to navigate North America's northeastern coastline, Samuel de Champlain searched the shores of the Penobscot River for a route to the legendary city of Norumbega. Norumbega, believed to be a place of immense wealth and opulence, was a popular fantasy of the time, inspiring explorers like the author to endure hardship and peril in their relentless quest. Norumbega was believed to be the center of a vast and wealthy kingdom ruled by a powerful chieftain known as Bashaba. Though Champlain would never discover the true Norumbega, his explorations illuminated the complex web of native tribes, rich landscapes, and fascinating history of the region.
