"One of the truly legendary figures of American history, the soldier, explorer, and colonist Captain John Smith was a chronicler of the beginnings of English settlement in the New World. This volume brings together seven of his works, along with 16 additional narratives by 13 other writers, that recount firsthand the events of the settlement of Roanoke and Jamestown."--BOOK JACKET
