About this book
History of the Colony and Ancient Dominion of Virginia is a work by Charles Campbell. The preface says that Virginia must be content with a secondary and unpretending rank in the general department of history, yet may, without presumption, claim pre-eminence among the Anglo-American colonies for the abundance and the interest of her historical materials. The history says Newport presented Powhatan with a gown and a hatchet in return for his hospitality.
The text says Smith had been in a sort of duress upon the false and scandalous charges of some of the principal men in the expedition. A curious tractate on tobacco, by Dr. Tobias Venner, was published at London in 1621. A march is described as fatiguing, the men having frequently to wade laboriously across the deepening water of the river and suffering with hunger, while the Cherokees undertook to make bark canoes.
