Lots of fascinating information, but not the best writing. I often got lost and confused from the author jumping between subjects. Still, I learned a lot!

A well written account of the founding of the Jamestown colony. The author specifically focuses on the economic side of the business venture and eventually shows how the Virginia company found that liberty, self-governing, and entrepreneurship are what made the colony a success. This read is well worth the time and shows how the very first English colony in America set the tone for what would become the America we know today.

Very good concise account of what happened at Jamestown. It is good introductory material for anyone interested in early American history.
