Brilliantly framed . . . fascinating . . . a welltold story of discovery, conquest, business, and politics. Kirkus ReviewsFour centuries ago, and 14 years before the Mayflower, a group of menled by a onearmed expirate, an epileptic aristocrat, a reprobate cleric and a government spyleft London aboard a fleet of three ships. Despite their shortcomings, and against the odds, they built Jamestown, a ramshackle outpost that laid the foundations of the British Empire and the United States of America.Drawing on new discoveries, neglected sources, and manuscript collections scattered across the world, Savage Kingdom challenges the textbook image of Jamestown as a mere moneymaking venture. It reveals a reckless, daring enterprise led by outcasts of the Old World who found themselves interlopers in a new one. An intimate story in an epic setting, it shows how the land of Pocahontas came to be drawn into a new global order.
