About this book
Jamestown, Virginia: The Townsite and Its Story is a historical handbook by Charles E. Hatch. The handbook says the settlement at Jamestown, in 1607, was another step, albeit a most significant step, in England’s quest for a place in the vast New World first indicated by Columbus in his discovery of 1492. The text says the first permanent English settlement in America was begun on the shores of the James River, in Virginia.
A census of January 1625 lists a total of 124 residents for “James Citty” and an additional 51 for the island. The musters of January 1625 give further information, saying that Jamestown had a church, a court-of-guard (guardhouse), 3 stores, a merchant’s store, and 33 houses. The handbook describes a “long house,” one made of several sections with common connecting walls, whose long walls have been outlined on the ground.
