Description

"The stories in this book, drawn from the pages of the popular history magazine Colonial Williamsburg, are gathered here to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the first English settlement in North America. Written by prominent historians and journalists and lavishly illustrated with period illustrations and dramatically reconstructed scenes, 1607: Jamestown and the New World highlights: Indian life before and after 1607; the business behind Jamestown; Pocahontas's rescue of John Smith; the Starving Time and reports of cannibalism; the origins of representative government; archaeologists' rediscovery of the original fort. Here are stories of greed and heroism, of suffering and triumph. Here is the story of America's beginnings"--Back cover.
