About this title

Synopsis

Blood, hope, and fragile peace converge in this eyewitness account of England's struggling outpost at Jamestown. These pages speak from 1615. With the urgency of a jamestown settlement primary source, Ralph Hamor sets out a True Discourse of the early Virginia colony: its scattered townes and forts, its hazards and provisions, its assured hopes, and the delicate peace negotiated with the surrounding peoples. Written from within the Virginia Company colonial enterprise, it offers a rare, candid window onto english native american relations, the christening of Powhatan's daughter Pocahontas, and her marriage to an Englishman at the very heart of early seventeenth century America. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike. More than an early Virginia colony narrative, Hamor's chronicle stands as a key text for seventeenth century colonial history, central to understanding Jamestown Virginia 1610s and the fragile beginnings of English America. It captures the tension between missionary zeal and profit, the everyday struggle to survive, and the political theatre surrounding Pocahontas christening and marriage, making it a crucial primary source for researchers and an arresting read for anyone drawn to human stories at history's edge. For students using it as a study edition for colonial history or collectors building a Pocahontas Jamestown history collection, Ralph Hamor Virginia history remains vivid, immediate, and profoundly revealing.
