Summary: "The Popham Colony: A Discussion of Its Historical Claims, with a Bibliography" is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. The work revisits the controversial historical claims surrounding the English colony that settled at the mouth of the Kennebec River in 1607. It discusses various perspectives on the colony's significance and the events that transpired, arguing over interpretations of its legacy. The opening of this work outlines the context of the discussion surrounding the Popham Colony, highlighting a debate provoked by a recent address given at the Popham Celebration. Several authors have debated the merits of the Popham Colony's historical standing, with arguments concerning its founding, character, and contributions to early American colonization. The author offers a detailed critique of the claims surrounding the colonists, including allegations that many were convicted felons and explores the responses from various historians. Through letters and reviews published in periodicals of the time, differing opinions emerge about the colony's legacy, setting the stage for a deeper inquiry into the historical narratives surrounding it.
