The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If you need to see photos of the actual book or have questions about the condition, please call or email.
Published with the approval and collaboration of Jamestown Festival, Jamestown, Virginia.
Introduction from the book:
The 350th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, Virginia-the first successful English colony in America-was celebrated in 1957. Millions of Americans visited for the first time the lovely island in the James River where the young Indian princess, Pocahontas, won the hearts of Jamestown's soldiers, explorers, and cavaliers, including the courageous Captain John Smith.
The original Jamestown today is a vanished city, but modern archeology and landscape architecture have recreated its outlines and the everyday life of its people. The National Park Service and the Association for the Preservation of Vir-ginia Antiquities are preserving the his-toric site. The Jamestown Festival's sponsors have reconstructed at full scale the famous Fort of 1607, the glass factory of 1608, and the three ships of the first colonists, so that children and their parents, visiting the spot, will live for a moment in the time of Captain John Smith.
