Captain John Smith: Jamestown and the Birth of the American Dream
Just a casual snatch off a library shelf, turned into a very pleasant surprise. I thought I knew the bare bones story of John Smith, Jamestown and Pocahontas, only to discover how little of the history of England's early explorations of this New World I understood.
The authors, Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler have produced a very commendable biography of Captain John Smith, not just his involvement with Jamestown. A surprise for me was learning of his exploits fighting in the Netherlands, France and Transylvania, before his capture by Ottoman Turks and enslavement in Constantinople, and then escaping to Russia!
Such is the detail of Smith's explorations in Virginia that I have accompanied the reading with my world atlas and Google Earth to follow the text.
Accompanied with generous source notes and a short bibliography. A fascinating life story of another incredible Elizabethan.
