About this book
Charles Campbell, writing from Petersburg, Virginia, traces the colony from the early voyages of discovery and Raleigh's colony onward. Chapters follow Captain John Smith's explorations and dealings with the Indians, the sufferings of the colonists, Pocahontas's visit to England, the first Assembly, a chapter on Africans brought into the colony, tobacco, the dissolution of the Virginia Company's charter, the royal government that followed, and the dispute between Clayborne and Lord Baltimore over Maryland. Campbell's preface thanks Hugh B. Grigsby for revising much of the manuscript. It was printed in Philadelphia in 1860.
