Excerpt from The Founding of Jamestown: Percy's Discourse of Virginia; Wingfield's Discourse of Virginia; 1607, 1619
Woods to the Mountaine tops; so we lost the sight of them: whereupon we made all the haste wee could to our quarter, thinking there had beene a great ambush of Indians there abouts. We past into the thickest of the Woods where we had almost lost our selves, we had not gone above halfe a mile amongst the thicke, but we came into a most pleasant Garden, being a hundred paces square on every side, having many Cotton-trees growing in it with abundance of Cotton wool], and many Guiacmn trees: wee saw the goodliest tall trees growing so thicke about the Garden, as though they had beene set by Art, which made us marvell very much to see it.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the tumultuous beginnings of Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in North America. The author, through the firsthand accounts of two prominent figures, George Percy and Edward Maria Wingfield, provides a unique glimpse into the trials and tribulations faced by the early colonists. The book offers a fascinating look at the struggles of survival in a harsh new world, where the colonists grappled with disease, hunger, and conflict with the indigenous population. The narratives capture the tension between exploration and exploitation, and the constant threat of danger from both the environment and the native people. The account of Wingfieldââ â¢s deposition as president of the colony, based on accusations of mismanagement and corruption, sheds light on the early power dynamics and rivalries that plagued the nascent settlement. These accounts reveal the complex realities of early American colonialism and offer a compelling perspective on the challenges faced by those who dared to venture into the unknown. The bookââ â¢s historical insights provide a valuable window into the early struggles and successes of the English colonial project in North America. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
