Description: Jamestown Colony A Political, Social, and Cultural History Frank E. Grizzard, Jr. D. Boyd Smith A B C CLIO Santa Barbara, California • Denver, Colorado • Oxford, England JAMESTOWN COLONY A POLITICAL, SOCIAL, AND CULTURAL HISTORY The real history of the establishment of the first permanent British settlement in the New World beats any storybook version for drama, suspense, heroism, conflict, and star power. Now, to mark Jamestown's 400th anniversary, ABC-CLIO is proud to present this remarkable new work. Drawing on the historic record, the latest scholarship, and ongoing archaeological work, Jamestown Colony: A Political, Social, and Cultural History goes beyond the legends surrounding Jamestown to provide a definitive account of this seminal episode in American history. Features include: • 250 alphabetically organized entries covering the full spectrum of Jamestown's founding and daily life, including political, economic, and social topics as well as fascinating figures (Captain John Smith, Pocahontas, Sir Walter Raleigh) • 50 primary documents from the Jamestown era, from the original charter to personal correspondences • A chronology of important events covers the period of presettlement, settlement, expansion, and decline of Colonial Jamestown • A wealth of illustrations of historical personalities and artifacts, as well as a range of maps and photographs depicting Jamestown Island, settlement expansion, Chesapeake Bay, and the surrounding river system • A complete census of first and second settlers, plus entries on all Indian tribes, Indian words, and a variety of everyday objects and artifacts An invaluable resource for the student, historian, and history buff alike, Jamestown Colony: A Political, Social, and Cultural History casts one of the seminal episodes of American history in a revealing new light. Pocahontas, John Rolfe, Powhatan, John Smith, and other famous and less well-known figures, places, and events are brought vividly to life as their stories are told in the broader historic context of Jamestown's founding, survival, and true legacy. It is the most authoritative and compelling portrait ever created of a place so well known, yet rarely understood. Frank E. Grizzard, Jr. is director of the Lee Family Digital Archive, an online repository of the collected papers of the historic Lee Family of Virginia located at Washington and Lee University in Charlottesville, VA.
