Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Magazine of New England History, Vol. 1 The ancient proprietors of this city were the Penobscot tribe of Indians. This was the most numerous and i! powerful tribe in Maine. The Pentagoet, or Penobscot, river and country was their domain. The French, by main strength, took possession of the country soon after 1600, and named it Acadia. Later on, tliat part of North America east of Kennebec, or St. Georges, became known by that name. November 8,1603, King Henry IV, of France, granted it to Pierre du Gast Sieur duMonts, who undertook to colonize it and subdue and christianize the ancient inhabitants. In 1604, he came over, accompanied by the famous explorer, Samuel Champlain, and began a settlement at St. Croix near Calais. Champlain made a voyage to the westward that year, and came here in the month of September. He describes the river and country as beautiful; on one side of the river, here at Bangor, he found a forest of oaks, some of the lineal descendants of which may be seen on the estate of Deacon William S. Dennett on Grove street; on the other side. Brewer, he found numerous pines. The thousands of stumps, which, even now, may be seen, bear testimony to his description. The colony at St. Croix failed. Other settlements were attempted at Port Royal, now Annapolis, Nova Scotia, in 1606 and 16 U, which were failures.
