Description
In 1607 a group of some 100 colonists began building the first English colony in America on the banks of Virginia's James River. After a series of disasters that nearly wiped the colony out, the leader who emerged was a redoubtable commoner named John Smith. His writings on the Jamestown adventure form a riveting tale of hardship and triumph in the wilderness. Focusing on Smith's two and a half years in Jamestown, this edition of his work details the colony's founding and its struggle to survive. To celebrate the 400th anniversary of Jamestown, this annotated and illustrated book presents a fresh telling of Smith's Virginia venture in his own words. Updated with modern spelling and punctuation, the writings of America's first adventurer-explorer are as exciting today as they were in his own time, when they gave heart to England's effort to keep its foothold in the New World.
