Dear colleagues:

Kingsbury's volumes are online as an accompaniment to the Jamestown
records in the Thomas Jefferson Papers at the Library of Congress:
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/collections/jefferson_papers/mtjser8.html.

In addition to the materials Jefferson preserved, there are several
subsequently published accounts of the Jamestown project in another
American Memory collection, The Capital and the Bay: Narratives of
Washington and the Chesapeake Bay Region, ca. 1600-1925,
http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/lhcbhtml/lhcbhome.html, available as both
facsimile page images and as searchable text.
