Product Description
Since its original publication in 1975, this book has become important teaching tool and research volume. Billings brings together more than 200 period documents, on topics including the settlement of Jamestown, the evolution of government and the structure of society, forced labor, the economy, Indian-Anglo relations, and Bacon's Rebellion. This new edition includes approximately 30 additional documents. Freshly rethought chapter introductions and suggested readings incorporate the vast scholarship of the past 30 years. Also includes new illustrations of 17th-century artifacts and buildings as well as a full index.
