From dust jacket: The courage, the determination and the luck of a handful of men; upon these slender threads did the fate of the beginnings of North American colonization depend. Captain Yardley has written the record of the various efforts made to establish an English colony in Virginia before the sailing of the Mayflower. It is a story of adventure and hardship bravely met. The dangers of the Atlantic crossing, the riggors of the winters and the treachery of the Indians all combine to make one wonder how that small hand hung on and secured this country for the English-speaking people. Discovery & Exploration, Americana, American History, U. S. History.
