It is great the way the author has brought the character's alive you feel like you are there beside them on their journey to Jamestown, VA in 1607. You can actually experience the hardship's that the settler's went through, you actually learn more about the way the settler's had to live that you never will find in any textbook. You will walk with Samuel Collier, Capt. John Smith, and Cheif Powhatan's tribes or empire as it is called in some books. It teaches that no one is more superior to any other, but that you will always find people who think they are. But in the times of Jamestown's birth that kind of thinking only hurt the settlement, only when they worked togather were they truely standing strong.
i have read this book a couple years ago, and it was a really great book. The main idea of this book is literally about the finding and surviving James Town.
