The next probable voyage to this coast was by John Cabot in l491 and later by his son Sebastian. It was, however, Capt John Smith. the leading spirit of the settlement at Jamestown, who sailed as far north us the Penob- scot and first drew rough chart of It.
 In the grant by James l to the Plymouth Colony Maine was included in their territory. Op- position to the Plymouth Colony arose among the kings courtiers and Sir Ferdinando Gorges and Captain Mason succeeded in ob- taining for themselves rights to the country between the Merri- mae and Kennebec rivers. This they divided, Gorges taking the northern section Meanwhile Gorges had sent over small col ony 10 theA mouth of the kenne- bee, but this settlement was soon abandoned. The first permanent settlement was made in 1925 at what is now York. MaSsachu- setts objected to Gorges' claim and finally annexed all the terri tory up to Casco Bay and called this northern section the District of Maine. Maine was dissatisfied with the rule of the mother state and by 1920 succeeded in being admitted to the Union as the twenty-third state.
 Maine was the first state to adopt prohibition. In the begin ming Maine was strongly Demo- cratic. It was largely for this reason that she objected to be- ing ruled by Massachusetts which was Federalist. Since 1856. however, Maine has been decidedly Republican, It has six electoral votes for president.
 The name Maine was so desig- mated in the charter of 1889 in which Charles I granted this land to Gorges. It had already been commonly used by the sail ors as distinguishing the main- land from the many islands along the shore. The nickname for the state is the Pine Tree State. It's area is 33,040 square miles, which Is practically as large as the combined area of the other five New England States,

But 1t was the French who first set tied here erecting in 1702 Fort St. Louis on Mobile Bay and founding the town of Mobile nine years later. Mobile was for many years the capital of Louisi- ana. France in 1763 ceded the territory east of the Mississippi to England and the northern part of the present State of Alabama was joined to the Illinois terri- tory. The southern portion was known as West Florida. Serious conflict with the Indians was kept up for many years. In fact. even as late as 1872. there was an uprising of the Greeks which resulted In terrible atrocities and massac cres.
 During the Revolution West Florida remained loyal to bng- land. but was seized by Spain only to be turned over to the United States in 1913. This Mo hile section was then added to the northern district and the State of Alabama was formed and became the twenty-seeond state of the Union in 1879.
 The meaning of the name Ala bnma is variously interpreted. It was the name of an Indian tribe which inhabited this ter ritory at the time of De S0to's first visit. After this tribe the river was named and the state was called Alabama after the river. The Indian word was sup posed to mean Here we rest" and these words are used on the states coat of arms, but this in depreciation is doubtful and it's real meaning Is uncertain.
