Product Description
The first book published under the auspices of the Institute of Early American History and Culture, designed to illuminate the civilization of the American colonies and early Republic. Originally published in 1705, this book was the first history of Virginia to be written by a native Virginian. Beverley was a brother-in=law to William Byrd of Westover. This is the first comprehensive description of the colony - its natural resources, indigenous population, and contemporary political and social conditions.
