I agree: thanks for recommending the two books. I'm ordering "A land as
God made it: Jamestown and the birth of America" for myself and my
family, in part because of this line that I found in the online
advertising: "Jamestown began the tenuous, often violent, mingling of
different peoples that came to embody the American experience." To me
that's an important dimension, and I'd like to understand it better.
It's also interesting to learn -- as maybe everybody else already knew
-- that James Horn, the author, is vice president of research for the
Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.
