Book Descriptions:
Excerpt from Collections of the Maine Historical Society, Vol. 7

The spelling of the original name of Penobscot was a difficult matter with the early French, in this country, for it was spelled by them, as our late Secretary, Doctor Ballard, discovered, in not far from sixty different ways - Panouamske, Panawanskek, Pamnaouamske, Panahamsequet, Panamske, Panaomske, Panaouamsde, Panaouamske, Panouamske, Panoumsque, Panouske are some of the forms. The English did better; they caught the sound, "Penobscot," and kept it.

It is difficult to determine when the English established that pronunciation. We find it thus spelled in Strachey's account of the expedition that sailed from England, in 1606, to establish the Popham Colony. He says that, on the eight of September, "Captain Gilbert with twenty-two others departed in the shallop for the river of Penobscot." Strachey, however, wrote in 1618. Captain John Smith was upon the coast in 1614 and visited Penobscot. The name does not appear in the journal of Weymouth's voyage, in 1605, although it is believed, by many, that the Panobscot was the river he visited.

At the time Champlain sailed up the river, in the autumn of 1605, it was called, by the savages, "Pentagoet".
