Written for the three-hundredth anniversary of Jamestown, this history moves from Columbus, the Cabots and Raleigh’s lost Roanoke colony to the London Company’s venture in Virginia. Pryor quotes freely from the first chroniclers, Todkill, Phetiplace and John Smith, as the colonists struggle through hunger, disease and dealings with Powhatan’s people.
A lively narrative of England’s first permanent American colony, with the period assumptions of a Virginian writer of 1907. Download the free EPUB.
