Jamestown, the Truth Revealed

byWilliam Kelso

What was life really like for the band of adventurers who first set foot on the banks of the James River in 1607? Using archival sources, narrative history, and voices from the period, Jamestown, the Truth Revealed moves between close observation and a wider account of the systems surrounding its subject. By placing Jamestown, the Truth Revealed within history, the book reveals why its central tensions extend well beyond one person, place, or moment. Readers come away with both the essential context and a sharper sense of how the jamestown, the truth revealed continues to shape the present.
