The book was originally published in 1907 and provides a detailed account of the founding of Jamestown, Virginia in the early 17th century. The book includes two primary sources: Percy's Discourse of Virginia and Wingfield's Discourse of Virginia. These sources were written by two of the early leaders of the Jamestown colony and provide first-hand accounts of the early years of the settlement. Percy's Discourse of Virginia was written in 1607 and provides a detailed account of the first few months of the Jamestown settlement. Percy was one of the original colonists and served as the President of the Jamestown Council. His account includes descriptions of the difficult conditions the colonists faced, including disease, starvation, and attacks from Native Americans. Wingfield's Discourse of Virginia was written in 1619 and provides a more comprehensive account of the early years of the Jamestown settlement. Wingfield was also one of the original colonists and served as the first President of the Jamestown Council.
