Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Narrative of the First English Plantation of Virginia The history of the first English settlement in the United States, and of its failure, is well known. But the text of the actual narrative from which all the writers upon the subject have, either directly or at second-hand, derived their facts, is not familiar to any save professed students. It is rare in any form, and the present reproduction will serve a useful purpose in making known to thousands who would otherwise never have a chance of learning it, the story as told by a prominent man among the original colonists. When it entered into the ingenious and adventurous head of Sir Walter Ralegh to seek for lands in the New World lying sufficiently northward of the Spanish possessions to render a settlement feasible and legitimate, sufficiently southward of Cabot´s British explorations on the Labrador coast to be useful and profitable, Queen Elizabeth granted him a patent, in virtue of which he sent out two barques on a preliminary expedition in 1584, in which possession was formally taken of the island of Wokokan, off the coast of Florida. The second and more substantial expedition to the same regions was made in 1585. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
