Although it was the first permanent English settlement in North
America, Jamestown is too often overlooked in the writing of
American history. Founded thirteen years before the "Mayflower"
sailed, Jamestown's courageous settlers have been overshadowed ever
since by the pilgrims of Plymouth. But as historian James Horn
demonstrates in this vivid and meticulously researched account,
Jamestown-not Plymouth-was the true crucible of American history.
Jamestown introduced slavery into English-speaking North America;
it became the first of England's colonies to adopt a representative
government; and it was the site of the first white-Indian clashes
over territorial expansion. As we approach the four-hundredth
anniversary of Jamestown in 2007, "A Land As God Made It" offers
the definitive account of the colony that give rise to America.
