Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pemaquid: Its Genesis, Discovery, Name and Colonial Relations to New England English records have preserved the acts of the English race in the discovery, survey, seizin and possession of New England, somewhat scattered in detail, but easily collated, to be arranged in their natural relations, in verification of the truth of history. Many of these initial acts have never been fully analyzed and combined in their natural order and relations, to the development of New England history in Maine, but rather have been eclipsed in the glamor of more ambitious local surroundings, foreign to Maine. I now propose to lift the shadows, relieve the glamor, disclose and trace the life threads of New England to rootlets at Pemaquid. We have this summary of colonial facts by Major, in his introduction to the Hackluit papers, original sources of the beginnings of English homes in New England, viz: "that to the northward in the height [latitude] 44°, lyeth the country of Pemaquid - the Kingdom wherein our western colony was sometime planted." This summary connects Pemaquid with Sagadahoc in the colonial possessions of the English there. The latitude given determines the locus in quo to have been in New England, and at and about Pemaquid and its dependencies. The English discovery may be regarded as somewhat accidental, in a marine novelty of a Captain Gosnold, as to his course across the Atlantic, shaped due west from Falmouth, west of England, as the winds would allow him to run.
