Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Old Virginia and Her Neighbours, Vol. 1 of 2 In the series of books on American history, upon which I have for many years been engaged, the present volumes come between "The Discovery of America" and "The Beginnings of New England." The opening chapter, with its brief sketch of the work done by Elizabeth´s great sailors, takes up the narrative where the concluding chapter of "The Discovery of America" dropped it. Then the story of Virginia, starting with Sir Walter Raleigh and Rev. Richard Hakluyt, is pursued until the year 1753, when the youthful George Washington sets forth upon his expedition to warn the approaching Frenchmen from any further encroachment upon English soil. That moment marks the arrival of a new era, when a book like the present - which is not a local history nor a bundle of local histories - can no longer follow the career of Virginia, nor of the southern colonies, except as part and parcel of the career of tho American people. That "continental state of things," which was distinctly heralded when the war of the Spanish Succession broke out during Nicholson´s rule in Virginia, had arrived in 1753.
