Description

Despite the settlers’ dependence on the Algonquians and strained relations with London backers, they forged a colony that survived where others had failed. Reconfiguring the myth of Jamestown’s failure, Kupperman shows how the settlement’s first decade represented a period of ferment in which individuals were learning how to make a colony work.
