Jamestown

A short, accurate explanation of the settling of Jamestown. The illustrations are drawn in pencil and conté crayon and include pop-ups with detailed facts about specific events that took place during the time period. The book focuses on the early years of the colony, conflicts with the Powhatan Empire, and the relationships formed between Pocahontas, John Smith, and John Rolfe. This book is simple enough to be understood by young children but also offers a more in-depth history for older students and adults interested in a shortened history of the Jamestown Colony and early American history.
