Synopsis

Historians and students of America's colonial period have long felt the need for a convenient collection of seventeenth-century Virginia documentary source materials. This new addition of the "Documentary Problems in Early American History Series" admirably fills this need. Using the observations, descriptions, and legal records of the colonists themselves, this new collection makes it possible to reconstruct the process by which order was established in the wilderness during Virginia's first century. The documents will take their place as invaluable tools for the study of early Virginia and as a stimulus to new research in colonial history.

About this title

Review:

"The most noticeable differences between the two editions are found in the chronological reach, the chapter introductions, the lists of suggested reading, the number of illustrations and the inclusion of an index. This new edition also contains pictures of artifacts recovered during the past three decades at Jamestown and various Indian sites."
--The Treesearcher, Kansas Genealogical Society
