Summary

"Today, Jamestown is famous for being the first permanent English settlement in North America. However, underneath the Virginia colony's well-known history is a much darker past. In fact, in its beginning years, Jamestown was far from a successful settlement. This book utilizes age-appropriate text, . . . photographs, and manageable sidebars to explore the challenges of the colony. Readers will learn about the successes, tragedies, and even horrors of the colony. They'll be surprised to find out about the real-life Pocahontas and John Smith, and eager to learn more about what really happened in Jamestown's early days"--, Provided by publisher
