"The Popham Colony" is written by William Frederick Poole, Frederic Kidder, and Edward Ballard. It is a book in which the arguments for and against the historical claims of the English Colony that landed at the mouth of the Kennebec River, August 19, (O. S.) 1607, are presented in an able and comprehensive manner. The articles, when they appeared in the columns of a daily newspaper, attracted much attention; and, as they contain matters of permanent historical interest, the authors have deemed them worthy of preservation in a collected form.
