Book Description
Excerpt from History of Penobscot County, Maine: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches The widely open mouth attracted the attention of all the exploring navigators sailing along the coast and it was visited by the Spaniards. On their first exploring expedition to our regions. We see it depicted -on the Spanish maps as the longest river of the whole region, and they gave to it names like the following: Rio Grande (the great river), or Rio Hermoso (the beautiful river). And the principal of the ear ly Spanish explorers of these regions, Gomez, left his name to this river, which, perhaps, he considered to be one iof his most important discoveries. It was sometimes called Rio de Gomez (the river of Gomez). It was afterwards often visited by French navigators and fishermen from the Great Bank, and they appear to have built there, before the year 1555, a fort or settlement, which must have been the first European settlement ever made on the coast of Maine. The In dians of Maine, also, thought highly of this river. Their principal chief, according to the well-known Captain John Smith, an early Eng lish describer of the coast of Maine, resided on its shore, and even now when everywhere else in Maine the Indians have disappeared, the few remnants of them, the little Penobscot tribe, cling to the borders of this their old, beloved, principal canoe trail. The very full and interesting Report upon the Water power of Maine, made in 1868 by Mr. Walter Wells, superintendent of the hydrogr'aphical survey of this State, contains an elaborate and most valuable chapter upon the system of the Penobscot, from which we make the following brief extracts.
