ExpeditionAcross the pillars
Search for Norumbega
Push up the Penobscot from the New England coast in search of Norumbega, the walled city of the great river that Verrazano's pilots and the Bristol fishermen alike have reported. The country is heavily wooded, the river is long, and the natives are reserved, but the city, if the city exists, would be the first European-style settlement in the New World and the second one not built by us.
