This research paper: A 3 pages book review on Big Chief Elizabeth by historian Giles Milton, which describes how the first English colonies in North America came about. It begins with the voyages of John Cabot in 1497 and Richard Hore in 1536, giving considerable attention to Sir Walter Raleigh's unsuccessful endeavor to found a colony on Roanoke Island. It also helps the reader conceptualize the 1616 success of the Virginia Company in creating Jamestown, as this text brings alive the drama of those years and the hopes and yearnings of colonizers, who, more often as not encountered death and hardship rather than the riches and glory that drew them on the adventure of coming the New World. The writer points out the text's strengths and weaknesses. No additional sources cited.
