Bright white teeth. Straight leg bones. Awkwardly contorted arm bones. On a hot summer day in 2005, Dr. Douglas Owsley of the Smithsonian Institution peered into an excavated grave, carefully examining the fragile skeleton that had been buried there for four hundred years. "He was about fifteen years old when he died. And he was European," Owsley concluded. But how did he know? Just as forensic scientists use their knowledge of human remains to help solve crimes, they use similar skills to solve the mysteries of the long-ago past. Join author Sally M. Walker as she works alongside the scientists investigating colonial-era graves near Jamestown, Virginia, as well as other sites in Maryland. As you follow their investigations, she'll introduce you to what scientists believe are the lives of a teenage boy, a ship's captain, an indentured servant, a colonial official and his family, and an enslaved African girl. All are reaching beyond the grave to tell us their stories, which are written in bone.

This book is an essential one stop shop for those interested in researching Jamestown ancestors. It contains a number of Appendices which allow the researcher to find names, places, ships of arrival and dates of arrival, death and much more. Armed with that information, descendants of Jamestown survivors will have a chronological story to help to understand what they lived through and to piece together the fabric of their ancestors' lives. Some of the most compelling and captivating stories come from history. Jamestown 1607-1624, A Chronological History and Genealogical Reference of America's First Successful Colony is presented in a storybook fashion to capture and keep the reader's attention in this fascinating story. The author has researched the Jamestown story from numerous historical sources. Many of the earliest accounts of events contain conflicting or biased information. Accounts have been compared, analyzed and presented to the reader in an objective manner which is supplemented by excerpts of period and historical documentation. While the colony of Jamestown can be described as the birthplace of the most powerful country in the world, it wasn't an easy undertaking. Starvation, disease, murder, massacre, deceit, greed, corruption and piracy were commonplace in those first years. The winter of 1609/10 saw civilized Englishmen resort to cannibalism to survive. When researching one's roots, it is important to know from where they came; what they experienced, what motivated them, what they stood for and what hardships they had to endure. These things are essential to understanding who they were as individuals.

A permanent settlement was the objective. Support, financial and popular, came from a cross section of English life. It seems obvious from accounts and papers of the period that it was generally thought that Virginia was being settled for the glory of God, for the honor of the King, for the welfare of England, and for the advancement of the Company and its individual members.

"From the earliest records relating to Virginia, we learn the basics about many of these original colonists: their origins, the names of the ships they sailed on, the names of the "hundreds" and "plantations" they inhabited, the names of their spouses and children, their occupations and their position in the colony, their relationships with fellow colonists and Indian neighbors, their living conditions as far as can be ascertained from documentary sources, their ownership of land, the dates and circumstances of their death, and a host of fascinating, sometimes incidental details about their personal lives, all gathered together in the handy format of a biographical dictionary" -- publisher website (January 2008).

The extraordinary story of the Powhatan chief who waged a lifelong struggle to drive European settlers from his homeland In the mid-sixteenth century, Spanish explorers in the Chesapeake Bay kidnapped an Indian child and took him back to Spain and subsequently to Mexico. The boy converted to Catholicism and after nearly a decade was able to return to his land with a group of Jesuits to establish a mission. Shortly after arriving, he organized a war party that killed them. In the years that followed, Opechancanough (as the English called him), helped establish the most powerful chiefdom in the mid-Atlantic region. When English settlers founded Virginia in 1607, he fought tirelessly to drive them away, leading to a series of wars that spanned the next forty years—the first Anglo-Indian wars in America— and came close to destroying the colony. A Brave and Cunning Prince is the first book to chronicle the life of this remarkable chief, exploring his early experiences of European society and his long struggle to save his people from conquest.
