Christopher Levett, Of York: The Pioneer Colonist In Casco Bay is a historical book written by James Phinney Baxter and published in 1893. The book tells the story of Christopher Levett, an English explorer and entrepreneur who was one of the earliest European settlers in what is now known as Maine. Levett was born in York, England in the late 16th century and became interested in the New World at a young age. In 1623, he sailed to Casco Bay and established a trading post there, which he hoped would become a thriving colony. However, Levett encountered many challenges, including conflicts with the local Native American tribes and a lack of support from his fellow English colonists. Despite these obstacles, Levett continued to explore and map the region, and his efforts helped to pave the way for future settlement in Maine. The book is a detailed account of Levett’s life and adventures, and provides valuable insights into the early history of the United States. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, colonialism, or the life of Christopher Levett.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
