The Cradle of the Republic - Jamestown and James River

Before Williamsburg, there was Jamestown. From the early 1600's to 1699 Jamestown was indeed, "The Cradle of the Republic". And, those early days were anything but romantic...they were brutal. The first few years were known as the "Starving Time". And if starving was not enough to worry about, there were the Indians to deal with. If you haven't studied Jamestown, you haven't studied Early Colonial American history. Filled with many portraits, maps, and signatures. Includes lists of names of earliest inhabitants. Buildings, Forts, and Churches (including tombstone inscriptions) , and biographical sketches. This edition of the original retains the original spellings, and the flavor of this special 1900 work. It has been carefully edited for scanning errors. This is NOT just pictures of the pages of an old book...this is a carefully optically translated version of the 1900 original. Profusely Illustrated.
