About this book
A tour of the New England shore mixes description with early history in this 1875 volume by Samuel Adams Drake, inscribed to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and issued with many illustrations. Chapters visit Mount Desert Island, including a Christmas there, Castine on Penobscot Bay, Pemaquid Point, Monhegan Island and the beach towns from Wells to Old York. Along the way come Champlain's discovery of the coast, French and English rivalry at Pentagoët, Baron Castin, the Popham colony and the fight between the Enterprise and the Boxer. Lobsters, shell-heaps and an oil-making porgee factory appear too.
