Excerpt from History of York County, Maine: With Illustrations and Biographical Sketches of Its Prominent Men and Pioneers James Rosier, an English gentleman, who accompanied Capt. Weymouth as chroniolcr, wrote a Mug account of the newly-discovered country in 1605, but omitted all names and observations of latitude and longitude. In order, it is said, to prevent navigators of other nations from seeking theaamespot. The consequence has been that the river has been gossed to bethe Hudaon, thedamcs, th08sco, and, more recently, the l'enobacot, the Kenncbee, and the arm of the sea north of Monhegan, running up to South Thomaston, and known as the St. George's. Capt. C mouth also discovered the fishing-hanks, which are still known as the George's banks; and although his name has fiiled to displace the old Indian name of Monhegsn, there has been a strong presumption that the nameless river which he found might still wur, like the banks, the name of his patron saint. Dr. Belknap, the historian of New Hampshire, however, conjectured that cmoutb had ascended the Penobscot River, and this opinion was gener ally followed until the late John mckceu, of Brunswick, suggested that Bosier's description better fitted the Kenne beo, and a few years later Kev. David Cushman, of Warren, contended that the St. George's River was intended. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
