Beginning with the transatlantic journey of 104 colonists from England to the New World in 1606, this illustrated volume details the establishment of the Jamestown Colony in Chesapeake Bay. Settlers arrived with high hopes, but faced many struggles, including drought and insufficient food and shelter due to unfamiliarity with the surroundings. The colonists had misunderstandings and conflicts with the Algonquians, and went to war with the powerful Chief Powhatan who was angered by their attempt to place him under English rule. The narrative is interspersed with primary-source excerpts, sidebars that offer additional details, and discussion and writing prompts. Back matter includes a time line; “Stop and Think” questions; a glossary; books and Web links for further information; and an index.
