	Sir John Popham-colorful character, colonizer FDU Press
		Sir John Popham (1531-1607) has long been a footnote to the very beginnings of the English settlement of Maine, lending the name to the sort-lived 1607 Popham Colony at Phippsburg and to the beach and fort in the same area.
		In 1601, while serving as the messenger of the Queen, Popham was imprisoned by the Earl of Essex and left with his henchmen.

		Even Popham isn't a household name, though, as Egerton wrote in a history of the seminars, he perhaps ought to be.
		"Popham had been journalism's point man in the mid-century theater of war in which the social transformation of the South was played out; in the colleges and universities, he had given voice to a new generation of leaders and provided inspiration for a regionwide educational awakening," wrote Egerton.
		Popham spoke in his rich Virginia accent about driving 70,000 miles a year in his prime, visiting politicians and preachers, trying to penetrate a South that was, he says, "locked up." Each seminarian stood and spoke.
