Excerpt from An Address on the Character of the Colony Founded by George Popham

Sympathizing then as I do, with the devoted laborers in historical research, I proceed to examine in a kindly spirit, the objections which have been raised to these anniversary proceedings. There is no reason for doubt as to the location of the Popham Colony. The site of the fort now building, is identical with the Indian Sabine. The objections to the celebration are based on the alleged entire failure of the enterprise, and the moral character of the immediate agents in it. The colony is said to have been composed of men, in the home country, endangered by law and being thus constituted, it had no life in itself, and thence soon ended Without fulfilling any profitable purpose.
