The Jamestown Project

by Karen Ordahl Kupperman

"Reconfiguring the national myth of Jamestown's failure [Karen Kupperman] shows how the settlement's distinctly messy first decade actually represents a period of ferment in which individuals were learning how to make a colony work ... the structures and practices that evolved through trial and error in Virginia would become the model for all successful English colonies, including Plymouth."--Jacket.
