This book gave me a lot to think about, but it didn't focus on the advent of slavery/racism as much as I anticipated. The first 3/4 of the book focused on white settlers and white servants, and then he seemed to throw the issues of African slaves in at the very end. A good read though, particularly for those interested in Colonial Virginia history.

It was fine. About what you'd expect from a book of its age

A classic text in American history, and one of my absolute favorites. So smart.

Do not listen to the audio version of this book read by Sean Pratt. He doesn't know how punctuation works or sentences flow. This might be the director's or producer's fault, so I would sample another book read by him.
